Hello guys, I've stated using lyx about two months ago, and mostly try to help myself via internet and Koma-Script documentation, but I'm still a beginner and lack some understanding with latex. This is a long email with a lot of information for 4 problems. Please tell me if it would be wiser to split it up in four emails.
For my momentary homework I'stuck with a couple of problems I can't find a satisfying solution. I hope you can help me on these. There are some fixed layout rules for German law homeworks, I'll need to stick to them, even though they screw up the layout. I use document-class: report (koma-script). The version is the repository installed somewhat older version of koma for Ubuntu. Problem 1: I use the package alnumsec to change the caption numbering the way I need it. This increases the space in the the space between number and title in the table of contents, how can I undo this (the annex picture should clarify my problem). Preamble: \usepackage{alnumsec} \surroundarabic[(][)]{}{.} \otherseparators{6} \alnumsecstyle{LRnldg} Problem 2: As I need a lot of sections for a law homework, I need to use chapter and if possible part as additional sections. I have a maximum space of 25 pages, so space is limited. How can I stop chapter and part from starting a new page. Problem 3: Out of the same reason as Problem 2 I want to limit space before and after all captions to the normal space between lines. My goal is font size 12, bold, OneHalf space between lines for all captions (From part to subparagraph). I use "smallheading" as a documentclass - option upto now, but it still takes too much space. I've tried renewcommand for the space before and after chapter, but I'd like to understand how I can tell lyx to reduce spaces to the OneHalf line spacing in the normal text: \renewcommand*{\chapterheadstartvskip}{\vspace{-1.0cm}} \renewcommand*{\chapterheadendvskip}{\vspace{0.5cm}} Problem 4: As it is required I need the OneHhalf space between all lines Open Office and word use. Now if I use font size 12 "Times Roman" and "OneHalf" line spacing in lyx, and "Times New Roman" and "OneHalf" line spacing in Open Office I get different line spaces if the document is exported as a pdf. I tried using setspace, but it didn't change to the required space: \usepackage{setspace} \onehalfspacing Is this a known problem? Otherwise I'll just set the line spacing to an individual distance, after visual judgement. Sorry for the long mail. I'd be really grateful if someone could help me out. Thanks ahead, Axel
