LyX on Windows Vista

2008-02-08 Thread Max Bian
I am using 1.53 on Windows Vista. I found pdflatex easiest to get what I need. However I have two problems with it: 1. When I do view->PDF(PDFLATEX), it will ask me if I want to create the directory for the output files. Is there a way to remove this unnecessary user input? 2. If the pdf is

Hello all, I'm working on a long document which has a word limit. My current draft has many notes and grayed out text as the text develops. Unfortunately the contents of my notes and grayed out text are included in the word count, so I cannot get a good indication of how long the draft actually i

2008-02-08 Thread Stephen Buonopane
Hi, I've been using LyX for years -- since maybe 1.2 or earlier. I've always been able to print well-formatted out-put directly from LyX. But now on 1.5.3 I cannot. I have dvips defined as the print command in preferences. And it does print but it cuts off the footer no matter what I do. I

2008-02-08 Thread James Sutherland
Jamie, I have seen such behavior before. It typically comes from a configuration in the latex or ghostscript installation, not from LyX itself. Unfortunately, I don't remember exactly where to point you for a fix. You might poke around on the web for settings in ghostscript or latex to solve thi

Koma letter: make first page longer

2008-02-08 Thread Laurent Duperval
Hi, I noticed that the first page of a Koma letter2 is shorter than the rest of the pages. How can I make it be the same length? The reason I want this is because I have two lines of text on the second page of a two-page letter. I want it all on the first page, and it looks like it should fit corr

Hi, while I was installing LyX 1.5.3, MikTeX was being updated. The first package updated was "ae". The updater downloaded the package but an unknown archive file type was presented while installing it. The file type was, as you can guess, "ae". I tried from two different sites with the same result

The same thing happened to me yesterday using BibTeX (through BibDesk). It turned out to simply be that LyX had (for some reason) lost the path to the library. Simply re-including the library solved it. Hope it's something as simple as that for you too... /Anders Jennifer Brookes Thu, 07 Fe
