Hi,
I've uploaded file that I've created while following the tutorial.
Hopefully this will make my issue more clear to you all.

Hi,
I'm working through the LyX Tutorial and I've encountered a problem
in Section 3.4.2: Your first cross-reference. I have followed the
steps outlined in this section:
* Applied the label "sec:About-This-Document" at the end of the
title line for Section 2 of my document (as directed in Section
3.4.1 in the tutorial)
* Typed the suggested text, "If you want to know more about this
document, then see Section, which can be found on page." within
Section 2 of my document
* Placed the cursor after the word "Section"
* Used the Cross Reference toolbar button
* Selected "<reference> on page <page>" from the "Format" drop-down
menu in the Cross-reference dialog
* Selected the label "sec:About-This-Document"
The reference label "Ref+Text: sec:About-This-Document" then appears
after the word "Section" in my text. However, when I view the .pdf
file, no page information is published. The sentence reads: "If you
want to know more about this document, then see Section 2, which can
be found on page." Information is published for the Section but not
for the page.
Please let me know if you see an error in my steps. This particular
format is not completely necessary for my needs, and I can fix the
problem manually by including another cross-reference at the end of
the word "page" and using the "<page>" format in the Cross-reference
dialog, but I'd like to know whether I am creating the problem or the
format contains a bug.
Thanks.

\begin_layout Abstract
This article is a representative document of a personal first look into
writing in LyX
\begin_inset Foot
status open
\begin_layout Plain Layout
LyX is a typesetting word processor.
\end_layout
\end_inset
.
The sections and subsections listed below represent work completed while
practicing skills necessary to use LyX successfully.
This skillset should prove useful while working in a technical lab, especially
for such details as Standard Operating Procedures and Laboratory Reports.
As a team member with a knack for organization I will use my newly acquired
skillset to create templates for my coworkers.
These templates will aid in the creation of consistent and aesthetically
pleasing official documentation.

LyX is better than other word processors because:

\begin_layout Description
Typesetting is done for you.

\begin_layout Description
Math is WYSIWYG

I like what Einstein said,
\begin_inset Formula $E=mc^{2.5}+1$

, because it is so simple.

\begin_inset Formula
\[
f(x)=\left\{ \begin{array}{cc}

0 & x=0\\
\sum_{i=1}^{5}\alpha_{i}+\sqrt{-\frac{1}{x}} & x<0
