problems with section spacing and getting unstarred sections into toc

2010-08-27 Thread Bok Young Hoon
Hi everyone:
I am just trying to finish putting the chapters of my thesis together and
seem to be running into some problems:

1. the spacing between sections seem to be inconsistent (there would be
large (vertical) spaces between some sections (or in this case subsections)
and very small spaces between others) - is there anything I can do about
this?

2. does anyone know how I can get unstarred sections to appear in the table
of contents?

Thanks in advance for all your help with this.


help with font size - I need 12 pt font

2010-08-02 Thread Bok Young Hoon
Hi
I need help with the font sizes used by LyX. I need to submit my thesis in
12 pt font but this appears to be smaller than the 12 pt font used by other
word processors (most notably Microsoft Office). When I change the font size
in LyX to "Large" it seems to be too large (but maybe it's the correct
setting if I want to get somethng comparable to 12 pt in Office). Does
anyone know more about this? Is the "normal" size font in LyX really smaller
than 12 pts even though I think there's documentation saying that it should
be comparable to 12 pt font.

I'll really be grateful for any help with this issue.
