Re: Problems with the title and Page-numbering

I'm writing my Diplomarbeit with Lyx (the windows port). But I have some 
problems to costumizing the document format. Most of all, I can't get 
the title-page look the right way. In the report(koma-script) class are 
some environments, which may be usefull, but all of them are only 
one-line. When I mark more than one line with, say 'Author', only the 
last line appears in the dvi document.  So here ist a scheme of the 
title-page which I have to use, beginning every line with the style of 
the line:

title:    My Diplom Title
subtitle:    A Diplomarbeit at the University of Bielefeld
date:    March 2004
author:    Tim Scheele
(space)
my workgroup and stuff:   guide / examiner:
first guide:   Prof. Dr. ....
second guide:    Dr....
address:   University of Bielefeld
               Technische Fakult�t
               AG Wissensbasierte Systeme
               Universit�tsstr. 25
               33615 Bielefeld
I tried to add a new Style into the srcreprt.layout file:
# ScdPublishers style definition
Style ScdPublishers
 CopyStyle             Author
 LatexName             scdpublishers
End
there are two possibilities: the \scdpublishers macro
ist defined in the classfile or you need some additional
LaTeX code in the layoutfile
Style ScdPublishers
  CopyStyle             Author
 LatexName             scdpublishers
 Preamble
   \def\scdpublishers{...}
 EndPreamble
End
But in general: it makes only sense to write a new or
modified layout file when you want to use this more
often. It may be easier in this case to use your own title page
\begin{titlepage}
\centerline{\Huge My Diplom Title}
\vspace{1cm}
\centerline{\Luge A Diplomarbeit at the University of Bielefeld}
...
\end{titlepage}
The other Problem is, I don't know how to tell lyx to begin the page 
numbering at chapter 1. My first pages are the title, some other stuff, 
the table of contents and the list of tables. And it would be nice, if 
the page numbering begins with one on the next page. Same Problem with 
the Appendix, it should begin with one. Somewhere I read that after an 
abstract the numbering begins with 1, but that didn't work with my 
document.
by default the titlepage has no page number, then until the
first chapter it is a roman one and from now arabic. You'll
get this with \frontmnatter in TeX (red) as first line in
your doc, a \mainmatter behind your first chapter and a \backmatter
behind your \aapendix. These macros only available for the book class.
