Most probably because you have one call in the custom preamble and LyX adds one more. > Is it OK to remove the multiple calls and leave only one? Yes. But if you need the functionality of the package in ERT (raw LaTeX) parts of your document, the save way would be to leave it -- just in case there is no need for the package in the LyX-monitored parts and LyX will no longer insert the \usepackage call. Remember, that LaTeX will only load the package file once, so the only problem might be an option clash. Günter
