Changing section headings?

2008-11-05 Thread Mitchell Mebane
I'm working on cleaning up the constitution for a student organization, 
and it seems that we can never get our Word document entirely 
consistent.  So I'd like to convert it to LyX.


However, we have headings like "Article I. Purpose and Goals" and 
"Section 1. Purpose".


I'd like to use standard paragraph environments to get automatic 
numbering, but I need some way of changing, e.g., "Part I" to "Article 
I." and "1" to "Section 1.".  How would I go about doing this?  I've 
done some web searching, but to no avail...


Thanks,
Mitchell Mebane





Export not working?

2008-10-12 Thread Mitchell Mebane
I've installed LyX 1.6.0-rc3 (the bundle) on Windows and have been 
playing around with it.  I just tried exporting a document to PDF, but I 
don't think it's working properly.  I was confused at first about not 
getting a file dialog asking me to save the file, but I found in the 
user's guide that "The resulting files are placed in the directory of 
your LyX-file."  However, this definitely isn't the case!  I don't seem 
to get any result.


I even tried copying my LyX file to C:\a.lyx (to eliminate the 
possibility of filename/path issues) and opening it from there, but 
export still seems to do absolutely nothing.  Is this a bug I should 
report, or am I doing/understanding something wrong?  I've tried PDF 
(pdflatex) and also exporting as Plain text.
