Please don't. I do things like that at least 10 times a day. > How I managed to set Author as Title has me baffled as I've been using LyX > for many years and am generally quite competent with it. > Even more baffled as to how I didn't notice that my intended Author paragraph > was set to Title at some stage of my own investigation. Well I think LyX is partly responsible. There should be something we should do to either restrict you from using another title environment or to at least warn you. I searched for an enhancement request for this but I can't seem to find it. I thought we had one. If you feel like it, feel free to open an enhancement request at http://www.lyx.org/trac . Try to think of what LyX should ideally do if you try to make a second title. > Many thanks for your help and patience. Hopefully, in future I'll also > remember your advice on posting. No problem. Hope to see you on the list more! Scott
