Lyx (Basic idea)

A tool for preparing presentations that can be exported in various formats like ps,PDF,HTML.

Learned the basic operations in lyx.
1)Adding images :
While exporting images are first converted to eps format and then added to the file.
When an image of a format other than .eps is added to a lyx file ,the application is able to convert the image to .eps but after that it is unable to create the final document.The application works fine when the image in the lyx file is of .eps format.

2)Adding special characters and mathematical symbols :
There is a maths panel that can be used to insert various mathematical formulae and symbols such as root,summation,integral,operators.It also has options for inserting special characters and greek symbols.

3)Text formatting :
The application has options for formatting the text in paragraphs,sections,enumerations etc.
The document being prepared can also be viewed in various formats before exporting it.

Sample files are at the following link :
Sample.lyx
Sample.ps
