unary minus

2010-09-03 Thread Neal Becker
Inserting the following in math mode [A|-B] the minus appears as an binary operator rather than a unary operator on B, so the minus is too big and the space to B is too large. Using tex code: [A|{-B}] looks better, although I thing the minus is still too large. What is the best lyx approach?

2011-01-28 Thread Neal Becker
I'm using lyx-2.0.0-0.11.beta3.fc14.x86_64 on fedora 14. I just noticed tools/spell check is grayed out. What is needed? I tried reconfig.

table editing

2011-01-28 Thread Neal Becker
I select a whole column of my table that I'd like to change from center to left justified. Unfortunately, I can't find any way to change only the justification without also changing other properties such as border, which I can't apply uniformly to all rows of the column.

2011-01-31 Thread Neal Becker
linux fedora 14 lyx 2.0.0beta3. Used to have instant preview, but not anymore. I do see "Unable to find executable from 'dv2dt'" on console. Is dv2dt the only way to get instant preview? Doesn't seem to be available for fedora 14 via yum.

lmodern?

2011-04-06 Thread Neal Becker
I'm trying lyx-2.0.0rc2. Do I still need to keep manually adding \usepackage{lmodern} to get vector fonts? I would have hoped that if this wasn't the default by now, at least I'd find an option on the document settings.
