Weird. I searched for this using Path Finder, Finder, and Spotlight. Didn't show up in any of them. After much searching, and after discovering the location of the LaTeX class and style files with the help of Tools/TeX Information, which I just happened upon, I found the file. It's in the LyX application folder under /resources/layouts. When I search again, again using Path Finder, Finder, and Spotlight, it still doesn't show up. I must be making a mistake somewhere, but I sure can't see what it is. In any case, now that I know where the class/style/layout files are, I can get down to the business of finding and adapting one that will give me what I want. I appreciate the generous help provided here. Sincerely, ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Weir Decatur, GA USA [email protected]
