Sorry for the confusion about this but the solution was posted out
of thread; here it is again:
{\pagestyle{plain}
\fancyhead[LE,RO]{\thepage}
\fancyhead[LO,RE]{Contents}
\renewcommand{\contentsname}{Contents}\tableofcontents{}
\cleardoublepage}
best, Bill

What document class is this? What page style are you using? Do you want
to change how this looks only in the TOC, or in the rest of the document
as well?
In book.cls, this would be controlled by two things: the definition of
the page style, and this:
\newcommand\tableofcontents{%
\if@twocolumn
\@restonecoltrue\onecolumn
\else
\@restonecolfalse
\fi
\chapter*{\contentsname
\@mkboth{%
\MakeUppercase\contentsname}{\MakeUppercase\contentsname}}%
\@starttoc{toc}%
\if@restonecol\twocolumn\fi
}
As you see, the \@mkboth command is what's giving you the uppercase. But
the italics are probably coming from the page style.

Name of table of contents in headers
Hi all. This is more a latex problem than a lyx problem, but since
I'm using lyx I thought I'd ask here.
I have a complex document in which the table of contents
spans several pages.
My problem is that in the header the name of the table of contents,
(which is "Contents") appears capitalized and emphasized (italics).
I found a bizarre way to turn off the capitalization in the header by
adding:
\let\stdtoc\tableofcontents
\renewcommand*\tableofcontents{{%
\renewcommand*\MakeUppercase[1]{##1}\stdtoc}}
to the preamble.
But the header remains emphasized.
I *can* turn off the emphasis by using this command:
\renewcommand{\contentsname}{\em Contents}
but then, of course, "Contents" appears emphasized
in the main body of the text.
Or, if I add the table of contents with this:
\renewcommand{\contentsname}{\textnormal {Contents}}\tableofcontents{}
then the header is perfect, but I lose the bold face I want
"Contents" to be in in the body of the text.
The headers throughout the rest of the document are
perfect and I don't want to mess with them.
It's a minor problem but it is bothering me.
TIA,
