Actually, I really believe that LyX is an _excellent_ package for you (as for anybody else :-). No, I mean it. Concerning the missing templates, as somebody mentioned before, take a look at Help/LaTeX Configuration. There you can easily find, that IEEEtran can be found at ftp://ftp.isi.edu/pub/graham/infocom99/latest/IEEEtran.cls. So, if you need it, you can have it. However, if you are new to LaTeX/LyX, I would strongely suggest to you, let this additional packages be, learn something about LyX by using just the standard article class (or article (koma-script), which is more up to my European taste), and then if you need it, check something different. Beauty of LaTeX/LyX is that you are not bound to one class forever and if you later decide that you want/need something different, it is usually question of minutes to change whole layout of the document according to the new style. And do not be afraid of the group. If you will make your homework, people here are extremely friendly and we are proud of it :-). BTW, the most simple way how to resolve mostly of all your problems (well, so far only those LyX-related :-) is to take a look at http://www.lyx.org/help. You will be surprised by the amount of the information available there (at least I am, whenever I use it :-). > I`ve even transitioned my wife to Mandrake 8.1 with kde...had > too, it had to look and feel similar to microsoft for her to > accept it. Then you are definitively on the same boat with me :-) I have succeeded so far, that she has just finished her first paper in pure LaTeX written on NTEmacs. I have still long way to go ...
