Beginner's questions: Changing title and section heading font sizes
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, -- Eric Weir Decatur, GA eew...@bellsouth.net We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children. - Chief Seattle.
