Beginner's questions: Changing title and section heading font sizes

[Eric Weir]

I've been away from LyX for a while, and was still a beginner when I was with 
it last. I've done the tutorial, but that was a few months ago, and things are 
a little hazy at the moment, though they're starting to come back.

I'm using the Standard Article class for now. I'd like to change the size of 
the font that's used for titles and section headings. Where and how do I do 
that.

Thanks,

If you're sure that you want to do that, look into the 'titlsec' package.

Thanks, Liviu. If I understand what the TeX Live Utility is telling me, the 
package is installed. 

I've perused the documentation. It addresses LaTeX usage. How do I activate/use 
it in LyX?

You should load it, probably via \usepackage{titlesec}, in Doc
Settings  Preamble. Then you can insert there the commands as you
would for a LaTeX document.
