Greetings,
I'm using LyX 1.6.1 on Windows Vista. (I've verified that the problem persists using my home computer - LyX 1.6.2 and Windows XP.) I'm trying to generate a pdf version of a manuscript using the LaTeX files provided at http://www.oxfordjournals.org/our_journals/biosts/for_authors/latex%20te mplate.zip. I downloaded the template files, put the cls and sty files in an appropriate sub-folder of my MikTeX distribution, and ran texhash. Next, following the LyX documentation to the best of my abilities, I created the following file, bio.layout, in my /Resources/layouts folder: #% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this # \DeclareLaTeXClass[bio, times.sty,modamsfonts.sty,modamssymb.sty,modamsthm.sty,modnatbib.sty,mod bm.sty,modlastpage.sty]{article (Biostatistics)} # Input general definitions Input stdclass.inc Preamble \usepackage{times, modamsfonts, modamssymb, modamsthm, modnatbib, modbm, modlastpage} EndPreamble I started a new document and set the Document class to "article (Biostatistics)". I wrote some random text and was able to generate the pdf. I inserted the title and pdf generation failed with error title "LyX: cannot view file" and message "File does not exist: C:\...\newfile1.pdf" . However, dvi generation succeeded, although a MikTeX problem report was generated with message "Not all fonts could be loaded. See 'File->Document Properties', for details." I attempted to use dvipdfm to convert the dvi file to pdf, but that failed with an extensive error message essentially saying that some fonts were missing. I discovered another problem when I expanded my test file to include and author and an abstract. In the dvi file, only the first character of the abstract appears under the "Summary" heading; the rest appears after the "Keywords" indicator. (The pdf generation continued to fail, as expected.) Thanks, Corey
