Thanks What have you tried so far? You have two replies with proposed solutions that were sent to the list and not to you directly: from Steve: http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg96235.html And then Paul just gave a reply that will show up at the bottom of that thread soon.

Re: Help With Acknowledgements Please
Have you looked at File > New from Template > thesis > Acknowledgments.lyx? I would try copying its contents into your thesis. (Note: the template may ask you to let it create a dummy thesis document. You can delete that document once you've determined whether pasting into your actual thesis works.) Paul

I have grown fustrated because nothing I have tried so far works. I would really appreciate some help.

Hi Ioannis, If it were me, assuming I wanted the Acknowledgements on their own page, what I would do is create an environment (LaTeX-speak for paragraph styles) for the Acknowledgement's title, and one for its body text, and use those. No muss, no fuss, no hassle. The way I make environments is by using a layout file. If you don't already have one, here are some details: http://www.troubleshooters.com/lpm/200210/200210.htm#_MakingYourOwnLayout Since that article was written, LyX has become much more accommodating to having your layout file in the same directory as your document, so these days, that's what I always do. No symlink required.

Re: Help With Acknowledgements Please
Hi Liviu, Unfortunately this is not help since I have an abstract part that I do not want to be renamed. Besides I cannot get the commands right; If i put these in the preamble I get a crazy amount of erros.

Help With Acknowledgements Please
Hi all, I would be grateful if someone could point out how to create an acknowledgement part in my thesis. I would like it to appear at the end of my work in the style of the abstract. I am writing my thesis as an article and since I am a Lyx newbie googling it did not help much as I am not familiar with LateX code. Please talk to me like a newbie because I really am! Thanks in advance. Ioannis.
