 I use LyX 1.42 on Windows XP. I am typing an article

 tried to view the article 'Example.lyx' in DVI format,
 I got an error message LaTeX Error: no \title given.
 There are only three lines in 'Example.lyx': title,
 author, and date. I have not used LaTeX and LyX for a
 long time until now. So I am not sure if this is a
 problem of 'ndst.sty' or a bug of LyX. Could anyone
 give me a little help? Thanks.

Your ndst.sty redefines \title, \author etc. to be used _without_ the 
\maketitle command. This interferes with article.cls when LyX inserts the 
\maketitle command.

Two solutions:

1. quick and dirty: 
insert
\renewcommand\maketitle{}
to your preamble

2. Better:
in your layout file, insert add the end of the file something like (untested)

Style Title
InTitle   0
End

Style Author
InTitle   0
End

Style Date
InTitle  0
End

Thank you! Your Dirty  Quick approach works. I will refresh my LaTeX knowledge 
a little bit, and will try the 'better approach' soon. Thanks again.
