This forces you to use "Text Style" to modify the text, but works fine.
That's the difference between Layout and InsetLayout: The former is 
paragraph level; the latter is word level.


There's a proposal to put some kind of combo box on the toolbar to allow 
easier access to these things.


By the way, you don't need the quotes around "Flex:Revision".

LyX users,

I am trying to create a "local layout" that allows me to change the 
font.  This is what I have so far:


Format 35

Style Revision

CopyStyle Standard

LatexName textcolor{red}

LatexType Command

Font

Color Red

EndFont

End

The problem is that this applies to an entire paragraph.  How do I 
apply this to only a few words/sentences within a paragraph?


Thanks,

I don't see the point for doing this. Is it not easier to select the 
text you want to change, then press the style button (the "ab" one) 
and finally choose whatever you want? I mean I can change font family, 
color , style etc


What if you do that fifty-five times, and then decide you wanted all 
fifty of those things to be styled some other way? Some of us would say 
that the whole point of a markup-based editor like LyX was to allow you 
to style things semantically, and to adjust presentation independently.
