i guess you want the headers always in two-sided mode.
you can choose one side and modify the headers with fancyhdr
for even and odd pages.
You can also use the two-side mode and set the margins to the same lenght
with the latex commands
\setlength{\evensidemargin}{...}
\setlength{\oddsidemargin}{...}
in lyx mode of course.

Hello everyone,
I have a question regarding the caption2 package and
cross-references in LyX (my version 1.1.5fix2). I would like
to customise the appearance of the captions in my thesis, so
I have downloaded and installed the caption2 tex package. In
the LyX preamble I have the following:
\usepackage{caption2}
In my document I need both long and short caption titles
(for the LoF and underneath the actual figure), so I have to
remove the default LyX caption.
How do I go about making the width of the caption a bit
smaller, to make the word "Figure", or "Table" to appear in
bold? (generally how to reformat the caption style) This is
what I have so far in my LyX preamble...
\def\mycaption#1#2{
\captionstyle{hang}
\caption[#1]{#2}}
Also, where should one put the LyX labels (those little grey
boxes) when using floats, as they appear to have been
referencing section numbers and pages rather than figure or
table float numbers pages.
write in preamble
\usepackage[hang,small,bf]{caption}
after inserting a float change the lyx-default captionstyle to
standardstyle. than write in tex(red)
\caption[short caption]{insert lyx labellong caption}

Re: hierarchies of itemized lists in FoilTeX
Dear Herbert, Herbert Voss (Firstly, my apologies if you receive two copies of this.) Thank you again for the help, the clarifiication, and the additional information. I was able to obtain the foiltex.dvi file., however I was still not able to achieve what I had set out to do. There seems to be some piece of information lacking which may have seemed too obvious to be worth stating. I will explain what I wish to do: 1. I am typing out a FoilTeX presentation. I enter the following as a shortrotatefolihead Overview of Interacting Process 2. I then go on to enter the following as bulleted list with a hierarchy implied by the parenthesized numbers: (0) Coordination: Movie Production Analogy (1) Movies and required role (1) Actors suited to particular roles (1)Scheduling of the production of movies (0)The Interacting Processes (IP) language (1)Problems with IP language (1)Extensions to IP (0)Implementation of IP with the Java (1) Implementation issues (2) Distribution of processes amongst hosts (3) One process per host?; or (3)One to several process per host (2) Communications issues (3) Use of RMI stubs (3) Use sockets? ... and so on. I have read the documentation, but something fundamental escapes me. What do I physigally type to make the above happen? Do I need to edit the .lyx file with a text editor? Do Ichange to LaTeX input mode and then enter something, and, if so , what? \begin_deeper \end_deeper ? [\(\bullet\)]? Do I use the itemized environment, the standard environment, or something else in order to do this. I have read through all of the FoilTeX documents I coud find. I have looked at the sampfoil.tex/sampfoil.lyx, but find myself unable to replicate the effect (that is unless I were to go back to editing LaTeX source files with a text editor.) What I am asking for, if you or anyone has the time, are clear step by step intructions as to how to accomplish a bulleted itemised list with a hierarchy similar to what is shown above.

Description based style with a counter
Based on the koma article layout I need an own style like the default 'Description' (M-a d) style (only the first word is bold and the paragraph indented). The first word should be a text label (Example 1:) followed by a counter and a colon. Does anybody have a layout with such a style? I have tried to write an own layout file but due to poor latex know-how I always get environment errors when running latex! Thanks in advance Claus

Philological editing
Does anybody know how to edit ancient manuscripts in LyX? I mean, the top half of the page should contain the main text, the other half should contain footnotes. Lines in the main text should be numbered every 5th (not all lines, the standard edition works in that funny way). But footnotes should refer the real line number (no marks, not autonumbered, the footnote has to refer just the line number in the current page) I have no clue how can it be done, and I know lots of phylologists looking for the same answer.
