Hello World :-)

Post by gaugeGroup16 »

I used EXP a number of years ago when writing my dissertation, now looking into LyX for internal technical reports and presentations. I have several hundred PowerPoint presentations on various subjects that I would like eventually to "translate", mostly structural mechanics & dynamics, etc.

I work for a very large company and am involved in that gray area somewhere between buildings and machines.

Hi and welcome within our little community.


Before diving into LyX, it may be a good idea to collect some basic LaTeX knowledge first. You will need it at some point in time.
The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.

Welcome to the forum!

Regarding the translation of powerpoint presentations, perhaps you would like to produce a style which you can use for all. But you could simply start with one, to get a feeling for how it works, before you design a template. I would use the beamer class for it. It works with LyX, but I prefer LaTeX. :-)
