How did you create it in the first place? In LyX and hence LaTeX you don't manually type in your TOC, it is automatically generated for you. In LyX this is done with 'Insert->List / TOC->Table of Contents'. > doubt #2: the tutorial talks about so many keyboard shortcuts > > a). can someone please link me to a concise list of keyboard shortcuts > in lyx? http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/KeyboardShortcuts > doubt #3: the tutorial also talks about lyx code, how am to type the lyx > code every time?

You should read more documentation on LyX and specifically on working with LaTeX. You would first insert the TOC using the Insert toolbar described above and then insert sections and subsections using the toolbar shortcuts or keyboard combination's, but at this point you really need to spend some time reading more documentation as these are very very basic questions about LyX functionality. > -Sindhu S > P.S: if there is any other detail i have missed, please let me know.
