I have contacted and heard back from lawlist, the person who posted the pleading paper template. Nice fellow but he is a latex guy, not a lyx guy. He does not know about lyx indexes.
I filed the brief yesterday using lyx indexes and TOC. Before filing, I had to go to the office and put blank lined and numbered (left side of page) paper in the copier. I then printed to the copier and it was fine, albeit the procedure is quite cumbersome. Would be much better if I could print the indexed file while having lyx generate the numbers down the left hand side of the paper.
John, I would know about pleading papers only if attorneys who engage me as an expert consultant/witness share them with me so I have no idea why adding an index to the back of a document would prevent line numbers from printing. Doesn't make sense that they'd be related. Because LyX supports many niche users (e.g., music composition, linguistics, poetry) I encourage you to ask the developers to make your needs workable. Seems to me that adding legal document support is a reasonable request. Consider creating a short document using the lorem ipsum package to create dummy text with an index and line numbering and post that to the mail list.
