Notepad++ is also a very good Windows ASCII editor with a lot of
convenient functions (like auto-complete in Latex files). I love it!

I downloaded notepad++ to do the text editing and that seems to have

the problem of not being able to edit the files.

wordpad are these known problems or do I not have some settings
correct?

Thanks again. I got mixed results but ultimately successful. I
tried
making the changes you suggested, reconfigured, restarted and I
got the same
error. I then downloaded the file you included and it worked.
When I
opened your file in notepad to see what was different I noticed
that yours
showed the formatting characters. For example where there should
be line
returns there were boxes and the next word didn't start on the
next line. I
wonder if notepad was putting control characters in that were
causing the
error.
I'd also like to understand why that fixed my problem. From my
understanding the arguments in the [ ] are the necessary classes
and the { }
is what is displayed in LyX. Inside my msuthesis.cls there is a
line
\LoadClass[letterpaper,
12pt,oneside,onecolumn,openany,final,titlepage]{book}
so I thought it was derived from the book class and thus needed the
[msuthesis,book]. This is almost exactly the case in 5.2.4. Did I
misunderstand the help file? Thanks again for all your help.
It's much
appreciated.

I see now that my example was too simplistic but I'm still
having the
same problem. I'm actually trying to do what is in 5.2.4 and my
layout file
is msuthesis.layout and is save in C:\Program Files (x86)\LyX
1.6.3\Resources\layouts
I took the book.layout and changed the \Declare line to include
the
msuthesis.cls and to report the name to LyX as msuthesis. I
also added the
Preamble as described in 5.2.3. I wasn't sure that I needed
that with a
class so I tried it with and without the Preable. I still get
the same
errors I described earlier. Also, I've checked to make sure
MikTeX has
msuthesis.cls by compiling the example document from the command
line. It
created the .ps file correctly. My layout file is below.
I'm sorry the errors are not very informative. I should fix that.
#% Do not delete the line below; configure depends on this
# \DeclareLaTeXClass[msuthesis,book]{msuthesis}
Try taking out what is in the square brackets, thus:
# \DeclareLaTeXClass{msuthesis}
and then make sure you save it as msuthesis.layout. I think this
is your
problem now.

I'd use AddToPreamble here. Otherwise, you overwrite the preamble.
\usepackage{msuthesis}
EndPreamble
Otherwise, it looks as if it should be fine. What I'm attaching
works
for me, though I do get errors about not having the msuthesis file.
