Use the menu Document-Settings-Page style.
The dialog box has a dropdown list for page styles. It defaults to

Bruh,

There are ways of doing this in LyX, using ERT for example, but if the 
frontmatter requirements are very specific the simplest solution is to create 
these front pages separately (in LaTeX, for example, or perhaps a DTP program 
such as Scribus) and merge the two PDF files using Pdftk 
(http://www.accesspdf.com/pdftk).

You can add a tag named LyX (or whatever to the list of T-bird tags, 
and assign it a distinctive color.  Then add a filter that looks for the 
mail lists sender address, or some other unambiguous header, and tags 
the message with the LyX tag.  Instead of a flag in the subject line,

How to typeset units

[Dan Phan]

As far as I know, the proper way to typeset values and dimensions is to use
units package. When you want to write 1 mm, you use: \unit[1]{mm}.
In Lyx, if I select that expression and press Ctrl+M to convert it to a
formula, I works perfectly. But if I start math mode first by pressing
Ctrl+M and type \unit[... it does not seem to work.
Anyone has an idea how to do that?

Thanks
Dan

You don't need this package, using this ore not is your choice. The Math manual, that you find in 
LyX's Help menu, tells you at the end of sec. 8.1 how units are typeset.

I inserted a figure float on chapter two, but after generated the output it goes to chapter 1

[Marcelo Reis]

Guys, Maybe I'm to stupid, but is there any trick to insert a figure in 
Lyx?!?!


In editing mode I inserted it on chapter two of my document and it is 
perfect.
After I create the PDF ou DVI file the image automatically goes to the 
Chapter one?!?

Any ideas?

Alternatively, insert a clear page  (Insert - Formatting - Clear  
Page).  This will dump all remaining floats to the output.  This is  
always a good idea prior to starting a new chapter.
