What was the error message?

The manual for sectsty seems to suggest that it may depend on what other
packages you have loaded and the sequence in which you load them.

RE: LyX & article style?

[Bernt Lie]

Font scaling… I found a suggestion on scaling, and inserted:

\usepackage{scalefnt}
\scalefont{2}

In the preamble. Didn’t change anything. The discussion said that this should 
only change the body font size, and not the section headings. To scale section 
headings, the suggestion was to add package sectsty, and the set the scaling 
for each section heading. I got an error message when I did 
\usepackage{sectsty}.

I'm no TeXpert, but I think some if not all document classes treat the 
first page as a special case. In any event, try \pagenumbering{gobble} 
in the document preamble.

This is presumably the inherent design of the article class. If it's not what 
you want, you might consider a different class.

You can "hack" the address, at least, as follows. After typing the author name, 
use Ctrl+Enter or Insert > Formatting > Ragged Line Break to create a second 
author line. Type the address there and, if you wish, select it and use the 
font formatting option to change its size. That should keep the address with 
the author in two column format.

You could probably do something similar for the abstract, but by this point you 
are likely better off with a different document class.

RE: LyX & article style?

[Bernt Lie]

Thanks to John K suggesting Article (Standard Class).

Checking it, I see that I had chosen Article (Standard Class with Extra Font 
Sizes)…

I guess I’m getting confused because the author Address doesn’t work properly 
when I preview the document… the text I put directly below “Author” and marks 
as “Address” does not appear together with the author list. An example… in LyX, 
Title, Author, and Address looks as follows:

[cid:image003.jpg@01D3CDB6.4240A0B0]

When typeset, this is what it looks like:
[cid:image004.jpg@01D3CDB6.4240A0B0]


1.   Why doesn’t the address appear center justified just below the author?

2.   Why doesn’t the date appear below the address?

3.   How can I suppress the date? How can I suppress page numbering?


Any suggestions are welcome.
