Saving personal Hunspell dict. when reinstalling LyX

I have tons of technical terms in my Hunspell personal dictionary that I have to reenter when I reinstall LyX. I've tried to locate Hunspell's personal dictionary file in Windows, so I can preserve it, but failed. There is no path information in LyX, Windows doesn't know that Hunspell is installed ...

Wrong page numbers in index

Thanks, yes that sounds like a plausible explanation.

If LyX cannot be configured that it runs makeindex (again) after pdfLaTeX after BibTeX (after pdfLaTeX), I suggest you contact the LyX community about that.

I might write a report on this. I've used LyX for 10 years without any problems ...

Wrong page numbers in index

I'm totally guessing now, but it has "\makeindex" in the middle of the package imports.
I don't see a problem with that.

Okay, thanks. I didn't know what \makeindex does.

So. I exported my files from LyX to PDFLaTeX to be able to check the .idx file. I now have a PDF of my dissertation with a ...

Wrong page numbers in index

Thanks for the input, it would be lovely to get this working.

I can't check the .idx file right now, but I'm looking at the preamble I pasted above. I'm totally guessing now, but it has "\makeindex" in the middle of the package imports. (LyX did that.) Does that mean that the TiKZ graphics on the ...

Wrong page numbers in index

This looks like a Deep Dark Mystery and unfortunately I don't have time to investigate it in depth. Unless someone is struck by some divine inspiration, the dissertation will ship with a broken index.

The one clue I have is that the error is incremental. The page numbers lag behind approximately ...

Wrong page numbers in index

This is about an alphabetically ordered list of words that occur in the text, with page numbers. An English index, I guess. :-)

Wrong page numbers in index

Thanks for the reply. I've tried all the processors included in LyX with the same result, page numbers lag behind a few pages toward the end.

I can't send you the thesis file, but I can tell you that the index log has no warnings, but the LaTeX log is full of overfull and underfull error messages ...

Wrong page numbers in index

My thesis is going out for its first test print tomorrow, and I just discovered that I have the wrong page numbers in many of the index entries. I've googled this but found nothing relevant. Since it's a bit of an emergency, I'm taking my chances here!

The page numbers for the index entries are ...
