I can delete the chapter heading and use ERT like this to separate the footnote marker and the footnote text: \chapter[INTRODUCTION]{INTRODUCTION\protect\footnotemark}\footnotetext{this is my footnote} I'd like to come up with a more elegant solution though. The problem with this ERT is that all of the subsections for each chapter are numbered wrong in LyX as they number according to the last Chapter that was declared without ERT. It all corrects itself at the time of compilation though. I've tried just sticking an ERT box next to the chapter title with: \footnotemark\footnotetext{this is my footnote} but that causes the footnote to again not appear at the bottom of the page. When I export a .tex file it seems the problems is the placement of braces. \chapter[INTRODUCTION]{INTRODUCTION\protect\footnotemark\footnotetext{this is my footnote}} The \footnotetext command should be outside of the braces for the chapter title and \footnotemark command.
