Hi here
I'm working (as usually...) in a new LyX document (a new file) at a
book-style. I need that the chapter number does not start with the
_one_, but the five instead, though this is a new file but it belongs to
a a set of large chapters, so I decided to make a new file for each one.
The thing is that the page number should start with the "1" into each
file (or chapter).
If these are chapters of a larger book, then you want to create a
"master document" that includes all of the chapters as "child"
documents. To create the master, just make a new file, and put your
title, author, etc, info here. Then do: Insert>File>Child Document, and
Include each of the chapters.
The chapter numbers will look wrong when you edit the child documents
individually, but they will be right when you compile the whole master
document.
To reset the page number, just put:
\setcounter{page}{1}
in ERT (Insert>TeX Code) immediately after each Chapter heading. Or
better, look into the chappg package, which you can find on ctan.org if
it isn't already available in your TeX distribution.
