Dear fellow LYX-users,

I'm using LYX to write my Master's Thesis and since I don't have the experience 
to build a proper format myself I thought I would use a template. The template 
I use is the standard thesis template that comes with LYX 2.0/2.1 (I use the 
latter). However, contrary to what the template does, I want to have an 
Abstract and Preface before the Table of Contents. I want all these three parts 
(abstract, preface and TOC) to have roman numbering and the parts after the TOC 
to have new arabic page numbering. This is what I've tried so far;

  1.  When I  simply insert 2 branches with child documents for the abstract 
and preface, they don't get numbering.
  2.  When I copy/paste the part of the template where the documents starts the 
actual chapters to just before the TOC and include the abstract and preface 
there, the abstract en preface get arabic numbering starting at 3. The TOC has 
roman numbering and the numbering resets to arabic when the chapters start.
  3.  When I insert TeX codes to indicate that I want to start roman/arabic 
numbering , that works fine, but not for the TOC. The TOC gets seperate roman 
numbering and within the TOC, it is indicated that my abstract starts on page 
3, while the page itself shows "I".

Does anyone know how I can accoplish this within the template?

Thank you for your attention and kind regards,

Martijn
