Hi, I am very new to Lyx and Latex and I have decided to write my thesis with Lyx. I use Ubuntu Hardy. I have tried to convert some of my thesis chapters, which are heavy in equations, from Word to Lyx and I have had some success with the Grindeq program. I originally wanted to use the Book(Memoir) document class, but I received a long list of error messages when compiling to pdf. All errors appeared to be related to some equation formatting incompatibilities. So I decided to switch to Book(Koma-Script) and everything compiled rather nicely without errors, even the equations look ok.
However, there are a few things I don't like about Koma-Script. First of all, I would like to have the word "Chapter" in front of Chapter numbers and titles and I would like to have the titles in Roman fonts. I would also like to have my table captions appear on top of the tables rather than below. I added the word "tablecaptionabove" in the options of Document>parameters>document class, but that didn't do anything. I have seen some documentation on costumizing Koma-Script in Latex, but what I need is a tutorial on costumizing document classes in Lyx in an easy way and in plain english. I haven't found that yet. Thanks for the info, Guillaume
