I think the problem is that you named your new arrowhead " >"
(meaning the name contains a space). Changing that to something
else seems to fix the problem. Based on an example in the LyX
xy-pic help file, I used a vertical bar (so the first argument to
\newdir is "|>"). I've attached a working (for me at least) LyX file.

Hi
Thanks for that. I had taken the code directly from the XY-pic
User’s Guide. Now, having played with it ANY allowable LYX character
seems to work e.g. x.
There have been other instances where LYX will not allow input of
characters, for instance the tilde ~. I needed this in \ar@{~>}[r]
in xy-pic to produce a squiggly arrow. I eventually forced it in by
pasting into the maths environment. The screen shows LYX thinks
there is a space, the code view shows a tilde, but when trying to
input tilde from the keyboard LYX converts it to \sim which then
throws a compile error.
Cheers
What happens if you escape the tilde (with a backslash)?
I get this
"Xy-pic error: illegal : macro:->\T1-cmd \~\T1\~ not valid."
Yeah, that one's definitely weird. I had to reverse engineer the wiggly
arrow in the LyX xy-pic manual. It turns out that you need to use Insert

Yes its annoying. I achieved the right code by cutting ~> from normal
text and pasting it into the maths environment. This seems to stop the
shortcut mechanism changing the tilde to \sim.

My issue is that in math mode symbols that used to be “normal” are now appearing weird such as all greek letters are now bold and he “-“ symbol appears as “lyxminus”. I have found that other people have had this problem and fixes have been offered, however these were all for linux or some system called mint, whereas I’m using the most recent version on windows 10. I am of the understanding that this is some kind of font issue, however I’m at a loss at how to address it. I have attached a screenshot and a lyx file as an example of my problem. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated! Cheers, Kyle I have minus as normal on my Windows and LyX 2.3.3 -- ↓↓ Please bottom-post. Start your reply here:

Found the solution. Originally, I put the ERT in front of the chapter title.
Putting it on a new line after the chapter title results in correct page
numbering in the ToC and on pages.
Another valuable lesson learned.

Set new page numbers for ToC
The report I'm preparing has several multipage appendices. Rather than bursting the PDFs into single pages and inserting then sequentially as graphic inserts I want to insert them as separate documents into the final document using pdftk. The ToC should have the correct page number for each appendix (even if the pages within it are unnumbered). What is the LaTeX command to insert a specific page number for the Appendix/Chapter page? TIA, Rich
