Try adding an "Itemize*" environment to layouts/stdlists.inc. Eg (untested): # Itemize style definition Style Itemize* Margin Static LatexType Item_Environment LatexName itemize* NextNoIndent 1 LeftMargin MMN LabelSep xx ItemSep 0.2 TopSep 0.7 BottomSep 0.7 ParSep 0.3 Align Block AlignPossible Block, Left LabelType Static LabelString * End Tune the appearence on the lyx screen to suit. If you don't care about that, then you may even be able to whittle it down to: Style Itemize* CopyStyle Itemize Margin Static LatexName itemize* LabelType Static End Experiment! -- Angus
