The only remaining problem is that everything following the table of contents still say "contents" in the header. I can eliminate that by using Chapter instead of Chapter*, but then my chapter numbering *in the LyX environment only* is thrown off by 1. Is there a way to strongarm the header just for the \Chapter following the contents? I have 2 other questions: 1. Why did you need to bother with \mainmatter, when \mainmatter remains at its default? 2. How do YOU find out about all these LaTeX codes -- their use and where to place them? Do you have a specific process for learning or acquiring this material? You seem to always have a simple answer.
