You can comment it out.

I don't think so. It's just a handy package that visualizes the borders of a 
page (so you'd see that the toc head is indeed at the very top of the text 
area).

it's really hard for me working with large table in LyX.
when i try to rotate the table, the table's caption dont rotate
so it's weird looking.
is there any simple way to work with large table?
like autoresize, autofit, or some easy way todo?



In preamble
\usepackage{rotating}

and in the document, instead (!) of the floating object, embrace the table and 
the caption by

\begin{sidewaystable}
[...]
\end{sidewaystable}

LyX 1.4 will have native support for this.


this often makes no sense for small tables, because
you _always_ get a new page for this table.

Is there an alternative if you _have_ to rotate the table?

if you have a wide table but only a few lines, then it looks
no very well on an own page. In such a case you can use
two minipages side by side, a table or multicolums. The
table _together_ with the caption (package capt-of) is
rotated together. If both are in a minipage it is very easy
to rotate. In the other minipage or table column (tabularx)
you can have text as usual.

I see. Never tried this. Many thanks for the explanation.

Oh, sorry! I installed so long ago the CV class that I had already
forgotten that I had installed it. Download

http://wiki.lyx.org/uploads/Examples/CV/cv_JMarc.layout

and insert it into your .lyx/layouts directory.

LyX comes already with a Curriculum Vitae class installed. Look for it
in the list of available classes.

That is similar but not the same file that LyX now installs by
default called cv.layout You can compare them if you wish.

Re: Stange appearance for xform in linux

Thanks Jurgen.

It works. 

I have tried to convert the .po file to utf-8, but it was
not worked.
What is the difference between the two kind of LANG variable
processing in lyx?
e.g. hu_HU.UTF-8 vs. hu_HU.UTF-8

The problem is that LyX cannot handle unicode currently, but your system uses 
unicode. With the command I mentioned, you start LyX explicitely in a 
non-unicode language environment (latin-2, if I'm not mistaken).

You'll be pleased to hear that the forthcoming version of LyX will do this 
change automatically on startup, and even more pleased that it is one of the 
main goals of the next development cycle (LyX 1.5) to make LyX use unicode 
internally.

Dear list,

Under linux, I can put a customized .bst file with the lyx file and

I use a customized .bst file (Win XP, MiKTeX).  It's in the local texmf 
tree, and I had to run MiKTeX's version of texhash to update the file 
database.  Can't remember if I had to reconfigure LyX or not, but I 
think so.


If you View->LaTeX info->BibTeX styles, can you see the .bst file?
