Hi ddiedrichs,
I reproduced your symptom in an article based document, putting
\renewcommand{\contentsname}{Table of Contents} in the document
preamble, as you would expect it should be. Like you, my document
continued to print the table of contents title as "Contents". So then I
exported to LaTeX, fooled around with it, and discovered it works only
if \renewcommand{\contentsname}{Table of Contents} is in the document
itself, not the document header.
So I went back into LyX, removed \renewcommand{\contentsname}{Table of
Contents} from the document preamble, and put it in an ERT before the
Table of Contents, and it did the right thing.
I'm attaching a 1.8K example LyX file that properly changes the
contents name.
If this solves your problem, please reply and mark the subject as
<SOLVED> so others who follow you know what to do. I found this to be
very surprising behavior.
Thanks
