Re: options on a document class
Just tried to view the document and fixed the custom block. Seems to
working at this point. Thanks again for all of the help.

Thank you very much for the prompt response.
I put [conference, compsocconf] in the custom block. I presume I need the []
and that conference is also an option. I have tried very hard to not learn
LaTeX or Tex. I figured once I did that writing papers would become a
programming exercise all of its own.
options on a document class
Let me start with a big thanks to all of the developers and users of Lyx. I
have been using it for nearly exclusively for 15 years or more. Ever since
FrameMaker got purchased by Adobe I have been using Lyx.
Lyx works so well that I have never had to learn LaTeX or TeX. I have been
through the documentation a couple of times and have been through the WIKI
too. I almost always get my answers there, but sometimes I have to resort to
google. In this case, they have all failed and I finally have to post. Well,
I do not remember every posting before.
Currently I am trying to write a paper and it comes with this request:
Latex users: please use \documentclass[conference, compsocconf]{IEEEtran}
(with option 'compsocconf').
Since Lyx works so well and I have never had to learn LaTeX, I have no idea
what they are asking. I poked around Lyx and the documentation and have not
convinced myself that I have found the correct thing to do.
1) Is there some place (pull down menu or dialog box) that I am supposed to
enter this option and Lyx will do the rest?
2) If I have to do ERT, then were does the ERT go and should I start with a
base document or the IEEE template?
3) Some other lower level trick?
Thanks in advance for any and all help.
