> psfig.sty - tables styles > graphicx.sty - figure style > amsmath.sty - math formulla styles. these are standart packages, lyx uses them when necessary. For AMS math you need to check box in Layout > Document > Packages > AMS math > utathesis.sty - main thesis style the way how you can write your thesis in LyX depends on this file. The best way is to create a customized .layout file, see Help > Customization I suspect that your file is a derivative of standart book or report classes, with some additional styles or commands. It is really easy to modify standart class to fit your class. Vasek
