Thanks a lot Julien and Rob!!
With your prompting I have figured out the answers to almost all of my
questions.
In case anyone else is searching for something similar to what I wanted, I
will include my working layout and cls file text at the end of the email.
InTitle 1 did the trick regarding getting the abstract before the title
page. I left the title page and copyright page together in the maketitle
command.
The End_Front_Matter separator style worked for me in LyX.
I discovered in the tocbibind documentation that the t...@chapter command was
exactly what I wanted for my front matter sections. I tried making
a FrontMatterSection style in my layout file, but when I try to run LaTeX
with LyX I get the following error (though the TeX source in LyX looks like
what I want, eg \...@chapter{acknowledgements}):
Undefined Control Sequence
\toc
@chapter{Acknowledgements}
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed.
Is there a quick fix to this? Do I need to define \...@chapter somewhere?
I can see \usepackage{tocbibind} in my TeX source so it should be defined.
Thanks again
Will
