So I removed lyx and lyx common and reinstalled on my debian bullfrog system. This is what I get now when trying to open Lyx: /usr/share/applications/lyx.desktop is not a readable LYX document. Any suggestions? John -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailma

Re: top tool bar not available

e the system menu is. Lyx can be used without the top menu bar but it will only print to one pdf version. John On Wednesday, December 21, 2022 11:09:52 AM PST Paul A. Rubin wrote: > On 12/19/22 14:44, John White wrote: > > So I removed lyx and lyx common and reinstalled on my debian bullf

Re: lyx to latex

Apparently. At least I don't see it in lyx 2.2.2. We are required occasionally by a court to submit proposed orders in microsoft word. These are on pleading paper. Easy to prepare the order in lyx but in exporting it to microsoft it loses the line numbers. Libreoffice and openoffice do a b

I don't understand how to fix it so I am planning to go back to the last version of lyx, which exported to ms word quite well. John On Thursday, March 23, 2017 9:00:57 PM PDT Patrick Dupre wrote: > OK, > > Thank you, > > I removed the Lyx -> rtf. > and fix the > LaTex -> rtf. > > ===

mailmerge

I use lyx and am using it more and more in what I call "mailmerge" mode, similar to how I once used mailmerge in Wordstar. Once I have a good form document (say a will or a contract) I replace the names with, say "@name1" and then I replace all @name1 with the new data, e.g. "Judy Jones". T

I have found that the newer lyx versions open files created in an older lyx version, but not visa versa. On 04/08/2017 08:53 AM, José Abílio Matos wrote: On Saturday, 8 April 2017 00.14.33 WEST Charlie wrote: More numbers. I attempted several encodings with the text editor but no joy. The nu

No print icon in Debian Stretch lyx 2.2.2

I upgraded from Jessie to Stretch and now there is no print icon in lyx. Cntrl-d brings up xdvik and renders a dvi file. Pushing cntrl-P in xdvik says it prints, but it doesn't. So I have to export to pdf to print. Any suggestions as to how I might get a print option in lyx? John
