LYX is a product for many nations, so Standard English is preferred for the English version. The other sections and paragraphs are my own. Did anyone take a look at this? As with many documentation suggestions, nothing happened. I read the text at the time, and I was not sure at the time that I liked it. However, writing documentation in English is not something that I am comfortable with. JMarc
