I have seen your opinions on this before, and they do have validity. A good discussion on defining front matter is in the documentation of the memoir class. However, to answer the question HZ asked: you can use a separate file for the title page, export it as PDF, and merge the PDF export from your report using pdfpages (http://tug.ctan.org/cgi-bin/ctanPackageInformation.py?id=pdfpages), which is probably in your LaTeX distribution. If you want a really nice title page, you might want to use Scribus rather than LyX to format it. -- Les ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.
