Yeah that figures...

Thanks for the prompt reply and the informative suggestion. However I
get an error message when I try this. As it happens the document I used
to try to do this with says:
\textclass letter
But when I try to insert either chapterpagestyle or thispagestyle
by, for example, changing this:
<snip>
\layout Opening
Dear Jim,
\layout Standard
Well Hello Jim.
<snip>
To this:
<snip>
\layout Opening
Dear Jim,
\layout Standard
\thispagestyle{fancy}
Well Hello Jim.
<snip>
What I get on opening the doc with lyx is An error pop-up that says:
"Textclass Loading Error!"
"Encountered unknown token
When reading" [filename]
Since the only place in my document's control codes I see braces "{}"
I also tried:
<snip>
\thispagestyle fancy
<snip>
With the same results (sigh!)
Any other suggestions?

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
\size default
This seams to work as long as I use the exact label name I put at the
end of the document in my case that's:
\lhead{My pagenumber: \thepage{} of \pageref{LastPage}}

So using the acronym you used above as a guide, I'm guessing I
might find what I'm looking for if I google:
latex ERT
Worth a try anyway.
Thanks again!
