Thank you, I can see them now. It had not occurred to me that this setting could be applied _after_ the document being created. I'm switching to LyX from SW; in the latter, it's much easier to choose the class once and for all at the beginning.

One small remark: in an AMS class, the drop-down list becomes quite cluttered. Possibly, it will be possible to customize (reduce) it by editing a proper configuration file. But what about 2 or more drop-down lists: one for sectioning, one for theorems, or text styles... Just an idea. Daniel
