I tried to change indexname
1. by \renewcommand{\indexname}{Stichwortverzeichnis} in the preamble 2. by overwriting it in german.sty,
but none would work. Has anyone an idea how to do it?
Possibly you use babel. Then you have to add the following to the preamble:
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\addto\captionsngerman
{\renewcommand{\indexname}
{new name}}The \usepackage[language]{babel} is necessary because LyX normally loads the package after the preamble.
For other babel-languages use the command:
\addto\captions'your language'
