Angus,

  As I wrote to Paul, "Aha!". I've not used acroread for this so it didn't
occur to me.

The results are very impressive, but you'll need to use quite a lot of ERT
in your LyX document. I attach a document to get you going. It won't
print, because the images aren't there, but it should be enough to get you
started.

OK. I'll give it a try.

  I was speaking yesterday with one of the Association's office staff (she
was obviously bored since the other two had left for meetings in China). I
mentioned how poorly most folks do presentations with their "PowerPoint"
stuff. There ought to be prohibition of those speaking to an audience with
computer-generated visual aids unless the individual has taken a course in
how to do it. Irritates me no end to have someone read his/her "slides" to
me.

  Anyway, I'll put together a test case and see how it goes. The advantage I
see to using beemer and acroread is that I can provide the presentation to
others -- particularly those stuck with Microsoft -- and they can view it to
their ultimate boredom.

Many thanks,

Rich
