how can I put German Umlaute in an English document.

Currently I am using LyX to write my thesis and like it very much.
Oone feature however, that I am missing very much in LyX is the clipboard
to export text (import works well).
The problem is, that normally we work with several programs (LyX of course,

it is very easy, ppen:
Insert-> Lists&TOC -> Bibtex references
Then give in the name of the bibtex-file.
Now you can include references in the text with Insert->Citation Reference.

Hallo Lyxers,
I would like to include citation references in the form [AUTHOR YEAR] instead
of a number (which works fine, e.g. [BA97] instead of [3].
My bibtex file contains the information as the key.
I think, I must use another style than plain.
Which one do I have to choose?

Hallo Lyxers,
I have a bibtex database which contains most of the references I want to cite,

Is it possible to add some references (simply with the bibliography environment

Hallo,
how can I reach, that a figure float is preferrably put at the bottom of a

Are there other possibilities, how to control the placement of figures (floats)?

Hallo,
I am writing a thesis and have included the chapters with the include-command.
Version 1.0.3 supports this, but:

- I cannot do spellcheck over the whole document.
- Another problem is, that I cannot change the document style f

Hallo,
until now I have included my figures from xfig with eps which works
fine.
Now I need a formula inside the figure. The manual says, that I should
save the figure in xfig as ps_tex and ps_tex_t.
However, when I load ps_tex_t, I get an error message, that there is no
bounding box.

maybe you can do it easier:

After that the TOC, abstract and such things follow.

Hallo Lyxers,
is it possible in lyx to copy and past whole parts of a document
to another part?
When I try with copy and past, all formattings disappear, which is
very annoying in the case of long documents.

Hallo Lyxers,
I have one multipart tex document and want to import it into lyx (1.0.3).
When I do so, only the main part is converted, all other parts which
are included with \input stay in tex format.
What can I do about this?
Thanks,
Torsten
Hallo Lyxers,
in a multipart document I want to include a cross-reference to a label
which is situated in another file.
When I open Insert->CrossReference I cannot see the label and I cannot
type the label name with the keyboard (despite there is a field, this
action seems not to be supported).

currently I am using lyx 1.0.3.

Hallo,
when I try to look in the log file, I can see some lines for every
eps figure which is included (which are a lot!).
When looking for a real error message or warning (e.g. missing references
etc.) this is disturbing.
Is it possible to limit the output in the log file?
Or can I filter the o

On stdout I see only the messages of bibtex, no latex messages.
So it seems, there is no way to switch off the log entries for
the figures.
