Dear all,
Thank you for the answers to everybody. I don't want to start an avalanche. :) Thanks for the HW examples, and also for the suggestions. I think that everyone can study further how to use LyX. (Including me) As I read and translate the tutorial, I find it more friendly to write longer works with it. I had completed my last thesis in Word, but I had some challanges with it. Now, I would start it with LyX. Alex Ingo Klöcker wrote: > Am Mittwoch, 5.
