That makes sense I guess. But all I want to do is to learn to use LyX instead of Ooffice for most of my writing. I'm not really planing on becoming a LaTeX expert. Still I suppose I might use google to find an online manual I could look at for clues now and then. > Now, if you want some specific thing in your header, such as > date, filename, or the page number in roman numerals - just ask. Actually I wanted the list of possibles to see if it gave me any ideas. Speaking of which you just gave me one. At least I think you did <grin>. When you say filename, do you mean the full pathname of the .lyx file such as "/home/jtwdyp/com/lyxSTUFF/ToJim.lyx" or just "ToJim.lyx"??? Wait let me guess, there is probably a latex command form for both the simple filename and the pathname, right? In any case. Thanks again for all the great help you so kindly gave me. For even if I never learn any more of the underlying LaTeX, I now have enough to make LyX as useful for personal correspondence as it already was for more formal uses. This ensures that I'll use it enough to get comfortable with it. ############################################################# ##_if_you'd_prefer_an_clearsigned_".asc"_text_file_of_this_## ##message_as_an_mime_encoded_attachment,just_ask_me_while__## ##it's_STILL_IN_my_outbox_folder_._._._=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+;-)_## #gpg sig for: Joe (theWordy) Philbrook DSA key ID 0x6C2163DE# # You can find my public gpg key at http://pgpkeys.mit.edu/ # ############################################################# -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFFpsrhRZ/61mwhY94RAhXXAKCHK+4WlNNxIf0nSXK3+s6MI52AwACeNX3p GzVkPe0dE13FWkroYSggyRk= =ibgg -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- | --- ___ | <0> <-> Joe (theWordy) Philbrook | ^ J(tWdy)P | ~\___/~ <<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>>
