Thanks,  I am using  Book because I am running SWeave, which currenly
Lyx only supports in Book,Report and Article. I believe this is
changing in Lyx 2.0, but for now I am stuck with Book.

anonchap works fine for the text, but it still leaves Chapter 1,
Chapter 2 etc in the header.
I have had a look at the documenation for anonchap and tocbibind and I
can't see anything obvious to fix the header.

Can you suggest an approach for the header.

Thanks again,

Graham

The other dialogs in LyX work properly on Macs.  It is just this one.  The OK 
button should be highlighted so that hitting return accepts, but it is not.  
Moreover, even if you navigate to it so that it is highlighted, hitting return 
does not accept.  

I guess this is a bug.  Do you all agree?

Still, for a wish list, it would be nice to have a special tex mode, sort of 
like math mode, so that simple things like \noindent, \cite, etc. could be 
automatically entered into LyX.  One of the things about Scientific word and 
especially LyX, is that it provides a relatively painless way to learn tex.  Of 
course, the obvious huge benefit is that you can type your first draft in a 
human format. However, now I always make all my final tweaks in tex.

What dialog are we talking about? The insert cross-reference dialog
works (mostly) fine for me. If I have a document with at least 2
labels, I can tab to the label list, type the initial letters of the
label name I'm interested in (or use the arrow keys), and once it's
selected hit return for OK. The keyboard works fine here.

The only problem is in a document with only one label: then, the
keyboard does not work for selecting the label name. That is a bug.
