If you need a way to switch easily between article kind of classes (where section is the uppermost level) and book (which has chapter one level higher), then you might try the memoir class, which is a book kind of class, but provides an article emulation. There's also the LaTeX package "outliner", which lets you use \Level 1, \Level 2 etc. instead of the section stuff. ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/outliner These macros aren't supported by LyX natively. You either have to write a layout file or use ERT. > Alternatively what are my other options for > deeper nesting of subsections? You can use subsubsections, paragraphs and subparagraphs. In Layout->Document->Numbering, you can change the numbering depth to get the subsubsections and paragraphs numbered, or even create subsubsubsections, as described here: http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=subsubsub However, at least in German typography, sectioning level higher than 3 digits (e.g. 1.3.2.2) is considered bad style and a symptom that the author hasn't thought about his document structure well enough.
