Further to this Steve,
I couldn't for the life of me get the thing working as you describe. I
tried the above commands in the preamble, in the LaTeX options when the
file was inserted, as ERT and none worked in article (KOMA-Script)
Tried every combination I could think of, but no joy. All manner of
error messages.
So I went back to book (KOMA-Script) Insert->Graphics and into the
directory where the .pdf document was located. Then inserted the .pdf
front page as a graphic, and without any further ado it came onto the
front page. That was it.
I was surprised that the .pdf was shown as a graphic, but that was an
advantage, not a problem.
Painless as it turned out, and simpler than trying to insert it as a
file.
Thanks again for your help.
Charlie
