 what about using two-sided document? do document -- settings and in
 the Page Layout panel check the two-sided document box.



Thanks! it works!

Some problems left with the numbering (lyx puts a 2 on the blank page while I am
using Italic numbers (I II IV) bu I think I can solve that myself)



I don't know if this works for you, but what I did for my PhD thesis
was creating the first pages in my favourite fashion, with:

 - first page: images (logo of my university), non standard author
names (me and my advisor), custom spacing (using vfill)
- second page: blank
- 3rd page: a quotation (it is always cool to quote someone!)
- 4th page blank

to achieve this I used the command \thispagestyle{empty} in an ERT box
(for each page) and page breakes. I know this is not in the LyX/LaTeX
philosophy but it was pretty quicker to achieve what I wanted.

Then i used the \frontmatter command (hence the roman numbering),
inserted an introduction, TOC's, \mainmatter command (arabic
numbering), the core of the thesis, and finally \backmatter with
appendices, bibliography etc

Here you can find a template for a PhD thesis based on this principles:
http://ares001.altervista.org/job/downloads/LyX_temp.rar

otherwise I can send you the whole thesis!

I have a document written in the book class. I want a white blank page after
the title page. So that the table of contents isn't printed on the back of the
title page when I print it double sided.  I know it's against the lyx
philosofy and I know how to fix it outside lyx. But I think it could be also
done in lyx. I have tried \newpage \cleardoublepage pagebreak..nothing works.

i need to insert a blank page for typographical reasons so that the back
cover will be on the back of a double sided document.

i have tried to use:

pagebreak
\thispagestyle{empty}
\phantom{}

\clearemptydoublepage

To get it as the last page, if needed
\AtEndDocument{\clearemptydoublepage}

Very short question, how to insert a blank page in lyx?

I want to show the abstract and acknowledgements in separated page,
nothing on the back of them. Then the TOC start the entire paper with
the binding margin at left side.

I search the google but no result..

There are a variety of ways, but here is one:

* Enter a single whitespace (CTRL+SPACE) on a new line

* Layout - Paragraph - Lines  Pagebreaks.

* Tick Above and Below on the right-hand side.

Hope it helps,

Thank you  Roy :). your trick works

And I made a search, find some better to achieve this problem: \cleardoublepage:
***
\cleardoublepage

The \cleardoublepage command ends the current page and causes all
figures and tables that have so far appeared in the input to be
printed. In a two-sided printing style, it also makes the next page a
right-hand (odd-numbered) page, producing a blank page if necessary.

***

It can automatically make sure next textd-page is  start on an
odd-numbered page. Which is just I want, however, there some thing
stupid in it:

it still put page number on the automatically inserted blank page.
There is some discussion on it, and it is treated as some bug. at

http://www.latex-project.org/cgi-bin/ltxbugs2html?pr=latex/2342;



As for me, I think will still use your method to do it since the
bug in the clearcoublepage...

Thank you very much.
