Variable to be used from Lyx in the LaTeX text

Hi, I have designed me a few form letters, and in one I need to use a date repeatedly in the text. It is a bit of a nuisance to have to look for the date throughout the text. I can put in LaTeX variables and enter the value in the preamble but wonder how I would create another variable (such as

Latex export converting to iso-8859-1?

LyX very slow on Mac

I have been using LyX for quite a while now, mainly on Mac. But these days for many of my documents LyX is just extremely slow. When I scroll, LyX just slowly scrolls line by line. I can wait for long time while it just continues to slowly scroll. And to insert math, it can take several seconds to
