Wrong tool. To outline LyX documents you need VimOutliner (http://www.vimoutliner.net). Much faster outlining, much more useful outlining. Then, when your outline is done, you can convert it to LyX. Attached is the conversion tool I use, along with a sample level-environment- table file. It spits out LyX code out stdout, you capture that in a file, and paste it into a dummy LyX file. That gives you your outline in the proper LyX environments.
I've used VimOutliner to outline the following books: * Troubleshooting Techniques of the Successful Technologist ( > 100,000 words) * Manager's Guide to Technical Troubleshooting * Rapid Learning for the 21st Century * Troubleshooting: Just the Facts * Learn Vim Tonight * Quit Joblessness: Start Your Own Business * Thriving in Tough Times ( > 85,000 words) * My new so far untitled book due in May ( > 100,000 words) VimOutliner's the only outlining tool I've seen fast enough to keep up with my mental activities, so I never forget an idea while messing with my outliner. I can't imagine outlining a book using any other software.
