Hi,
I tried today to remove the abstract title ("Abstract"). Took me quite a
while until I managed to do so in LyX, so I wanted to share the solution.
Basically I used the solution @ http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/24778 and
adjusted it to LyX loading the babel package at the end of the preamble.
So I added the following to the preamble:
\usepackage{abstract}
\AtBeginDocument{\addto{\captionsenglish}{\renewcommand{\abstractname}{}}}
% clear the title with LyX-babel fix
I guess one has to replace "english" by whatever language one uses.
