This requires some mucking arround with some of the settings in the .cls in your preamble or at the start of your document. With the number of mods you want to do it may be worth copying the article.cls file and editing that.
as for the size of the section headers etc you need change the part in the cls file that says something like the following
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]
{-3.5ex [EMAIL PROTECTED] -1ex [EMAIL PROTECTED]
-.2ex}%
{2.3ex [EMAIL PROTECTED]
{\normalfont\Large\bfseries}}you could just copy this to the preamble and change the \newcommand to \renewcommand and then play with the \Large command perhaps change it to \large
As for the dot that should be easy but I tryed what I expected would work and it didnt so perhaps some one else can help you there.
as for the figure change you should be able to put in ERT at the top of your document (I dont think it works in the preamble)
\renewcommand\figurename{\normalfont\normalsize\bfseries Figure}
\renewcommand\tablename{\normalfont\normalsize\bfseries Table}and so on
once again I dont know about the . but I would have expected that there was one there automaticly.
but realy copy article.cls to myarticle.cls and change it to do what you want. ofcause this is not exactly as simple as changing just the bits you want and you will need to also mod a .layout file
cheers owen
Hi
I am using the article format with 10pt times fonts.
I need to change the defaults for the look of the section and figure headers. I need to reduce the size of the section heads defaults so that it is 12pt boldface (not 14pt) I also need to have a dot "." after the section number
I need to also reduce to 12pt the "Referenced" header.
For figures, I need the "Figure x." to be in 10 pt helvetica boldface with a dot "." not a colon (the default), and the caption to be helvetica 10pt.
Same thing for tables.
I looked at the lyx tricks website but could not find such details.
thanks Frederic
