LaTeX has come a long way and today the basic usage of LaTeX starts with the
choice of the document class. At least two packages are very powerful and
very configurable: Memoir and KOMA-Script. Within these classes you can
change practically everything you want. For other classes (the regular ones)
you need a lot of extra packages to change their look and behaviour. And
then there are very special classes such as AMS, IEEE and so on which are
often written for very special purposes such as specific journals. Unless
you are writing for such a journal providing its own document class or
unless you want your writings to look exactly like in one of these journals,
I for my part would not recommend using them. Use Memoir or KOMA instead and
check their manuals to make changes. Quite a few typical changes can be done
very easily by mouse-click in LyX’ document settings dialogue. If you need
help with theses classes simply ask on the list.

But do you really want to use ieeetran? What are your constraints?

Thanks for your prompt response. Actually, Ijust need to modify another
guy's file. But he is also not so familiar with lyx. My lyx file is using
ieeetran.cls. It looks like "document setting" is the only part I can modify
to change the page style.

Hi,

You have to tell us more about your document. What document class did
you pick?

about the style of the section numbering

2008-05-28 Thread Haiyang Chao
Hi, everyone.

I am a freshman to lyx but I have some latex experiences. I got a question
on how to change the style of the section numbering.

In my current file, I got section number like I, II, III, IV in dvi files.
Can u guys tell me how I can change this style back to 1, 2,3,4 ?

Thanks
