I didn't look in templates, but there the textclass is set to scrreport so I cannot explain why a new doc comes up as scrbook. Oh, well. I'll cope with it. :-) Many thanks, Rich You might try "grep template_path ~/.lyx/preferences" and make sure that your template directory is correctly set (~/.lyx/templates). If LyX is looking for templates in the wrong place, that might explain why it's defaulting to the wrong class. You sure know how to have fun!

Paul, Yes, the doc class changed back to Book a couple of times, but that's the only time I've seen this happen. I can't explain it either.

The default when the new doc opened was KOMA-Script Book. I changed it to KOMA-Script Report and clicked the link, "Save as Document Class." (Aside, it kept shifting back to Book and I kept changing that to Report.) Now, starting a new doc the default class is "KOMA-Script Book" which is why I thought there might be another place that actually set the default class I want. Thanks, Rich Rich, Are you saying that the doc class within a document kept changing back to Book on its own, or that the default class kept changing back to Book? I would have no explanation for the former. The latter might indicate a permissions problem with the directory where the default is saved.
