I've got this 2 problems: 1) Hyphenation makes some mistakes (in italian) and I need to correct "by hand" them... how can I do it? I know there is some LaTeX "\command" to use in LyX, but I don't know the exact way to do (I don't know much LaTeX... :-( ) 2) How can I add Bibliography in TOC ? Shal

Long table from file

Hi, This is my problem. I have to include a list of results in my thesis, i.e. a table with 120 lines and 5 columns, taken from a file (results.txt, an ASCII file, 120 lines and 5 columns obviously :-) ). Is there a way to insert files in LyX/LaTeX "Tables"? Is it automatically split over pages? H

Hyphenation!

I'm sorry but hyphenation is always my problem... Now I'm at the end of my thesis and I NEED the correct hyphenation. Many words have uncorrect hyphenation. Too much word to solve the problem manually... This is what I've done to make hyphenation correct: 1)I changed manually the file /usr/share

landscape slides in postscript

Hi, I tried to view landscape LyX slides (FoilTeX) with ghostview, but the right part of the slide doesn't appear: the text is cut. I haven't this problem with dvips, only with gv (by Johannes Plass). Shall I use another viewer? Is it a problem with postscript? I have to do a presentation (of my

Landscape Postscript Problems

I found that Aladdin GSView for Windows has not the problem of "text cut on the right", belonging (probably) to wrong bounding box. Also ghostview 1.5 on UX-HP works well... (old ghostscript 2.6.1 !) I think that only GV by Johannes Plass has the bug. So I'll use GSView for Winz :-< for my prese
