Thanks, I checked out the link and was unable to get the instructions to work, since the directions for where to put the sig-alternate.cls file don't match my directory structure (there is no 'Base' directory where there should be).
I can't get LyX to see my texlive stuff, if I hack the acmlayout file to refer to the acmtrans2e class LyX says that the class is "unknown", but it is listed on the "text info" gui. Ah, I suppose textclass and documentclass are different things. Can someone suggest a howto on creating lyX layouts? (what extra choices are made in these layouts that are not in the document class? Can't they be auto generated from the document classes on a system?) At this rate I'll have to use openoffice and the acm word template. :( Thanks all for your help. B.
