Hello,
I am new to LyX, coming from 20+ yrs in a Windows/Word/OpenOffice Writer
environment, and I am trying to figure out how to format headers and footers
without having to take extensive courses in LaTeX programming code.
The headers need to be smaller and not slanted, with page numbers, and there
needs to be more space between the text and the page number in the footer.
This is for use in self-published novels, which should not have SLANTED ALL
CAPS since they look weird in a novel environment. I have obtained instructions
on how to use {myheadings} and that works okay, to a point. But I'm still
getting slanted text which is too large, and on the first page of each chapter
the footer page number is way too close to the text (looks like a single
return beneath the body of text).
I have searched for days now but cannot find any user-friendly instructions on
how to remedy this situation---I do not speak HTML, LaTeX, TeX, or any similar
coding language. I just need nice unobtrusive headers and footers for my novels.
If you could please assist me, I would be most grateful. Additional specifics
are below.
Thank you,
Karen R. Thorne
