The sequence is the TOC followed by a tex code box containing:

Then a few short chapter*(s) That are not part of the numbered chapters.
And it is not desired for them to be labeled as "contents" in the output
(pdf)
Then there is another tex code box containing:
\pagenumbering{arabic}
And finally Chapter 1...
How can I stop "output" from inserting the word "contents" into the
the page header of the "chapter*{s} without relocating them to
before the TOC, nor after chapter 1???
This works for document class "book":
Immediately after the TOC (before your chapter*), an ERT box with
\pagestyle{plain}
This gets rid of the running header you didn't want. You will still
get "contents" on TOC pages, if your TOC spans more than one page.
The first normal text in the first chapter should start with an ERT box
with:
\pagestyle{headings}
in order to reinstate the running headers that you probably want for
your numbered chapters.
The page styles:
empty - nothing, not even a page number
plain - a page number, nothing more
headings - page number and running header (with the chapter name,
usually)
myheadings- user defined by using more ERT (\markright or \markboth
whenever you want the running headers to change)
fancy - Even more user defined. Maybe you want a logo in the
heading, a colored page number, anything goes but
more ERT is needed.
Note that the \pagestyle command is only necessary if you want running
headers in the normal chapters but not elsewhere. If you don't want
any running headers at all, just turn them off in document settings,
page style set to "plain". No need for ERT then.
To style a single page differently: \thispagestyle{plain} in an ERT box
anywhere on that page.
