I am new to LyX, switched over a couple of weeks ago from word, and I am trying to write my dissertation while I learn.
I am using the book class, and I recently installed a package (appendix). However, since I did that, every time I try to view a PDF file, LYX starts "MikTex Package Manager", which results in Windows 7 asking me to give it permission to start.
this happens about 4 times before my PDF is properly rendered. The PDF opens, and closes a few times before it is ready. This whole process takes about 2 minutes (I timed it today), and I am still in the learning stage where I want to keep looking at the PDF very often.
Any suggestions as to how I can make the PDF quicker, and not have to sit clicking yes for windows permissions 4 times?
Thank you very much, and I would appreciate if you assume I am a total idiot when answering my question.
Here is the preamble, FWIW.
Code: Select all
\usepackage{cite} % Combines [1,2,3] to read 1-3
\usepackage{lmodern} %For better looking fonts
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc} % For better looking fonts
