Re: problems with class and/or layout?
well, the problem is solved... I obtained the original Elsevier class files from the conference website http://www.jems08.ie/publications.php (they provided elsart.cls, elsart5.cls). Now that I downloaded them straight from Elsevier I have no more problems... thank you!

(I would run 'kpsewhich elsart.cls' to verify that texhash did its job.) Assuming it shows up, and I suspect it will, try doing the new from template approach and export the document as a .tex file, then post it here. That's just to make sure that nothing is creeping into the document that might break it. Also, you might want to verify that your LaTeX installation is up to date. The template compiles fine for me (LyX 1.5.6, Win XP). /Paul
