Ronald,
I have tried the above with no success. Perhaps not in the correct places
in my text.

I have no desire to manually encode anything. That's why I use LyX for all
my writing that does not need to be shared as a winWord doc with regulators
or clients. One of the reasons that I adopted LyX several years ago after
attempting to learn LaTeX was that with the latter I had to learn every
aspect of formatting -- and memorize/type the codes, too. LyX hides those
details from me.
However, with no format codes in the book (and memoir) class I get the
copyright page information either on the bottom of the title page or on the
top of the ToC page. As neither is appropriate I'm trying to learn how to
set that page apart, but retain the proper pagination.
If the book (or memoir) class had a style "Copyright" as does the
Koma-Script book format, I would not be asking all these questions.
Unfortunately, use of the latter class produces its own unintended
consequences for me writing in the U.S. If I was really clever and knew
LaTeX and LyX _very_ well, I could probably take the "Copyright" style from
Koma-Script and add it to "book". Unfortunately, I'm not that clever with
these applications. Nor can I find a LyX-class-writing-HOWTO.
Would you like to help me add this feature to the book class? I'm always
happy to learn more.
Thanks,
Rich
