Well for the simple file name "WhatEver.tex" is just as good as
"WhatEver.lyx"... And I suppose that if I really want a file's actual
pathname to print I could just manually insert it between the curly-braces
of something like \lhead{}. I'd just have to remember to update it if I
moved the file.

Thanks for the prompt reply and the informative suggestion. However I
get an error message when I try this. As it happens the document I used
to try to do this with says:
\textclass letter
But when I try to insert either chapterpagestyle or thispagestyle
by, for example, changing this:
snip
\layout Opening
Dear Jim,
\layout Standard
Well Hello Jim.
snip
To this:
snip
\layout Opening
Dear Jim,
\layout Standard
\thispagestyle{fancy}
Well Hello Jim.
snip
What I get on opening the doc with lyx is An error pop-up that says:
Textclass Loading Error!
Are you changing the .lyx file directly with some kind of
text editor? You are not supposed to do that!
Open your working file with lyx.
Place the cursor somewhere on the first page.
Use the menu Insert-Tex Code. (Or click the toolbar button
with the word TeX in red.)
You should get a little box with red borders. Inside this
box, type
\thispagestyle{fancy}
Then move the cursor out of the box so you don't type anything
else there.
Now try view-DVI or view-pdf, see if you get the
page layout you want. I get a letter with a fancy first page.
I have attached an example file, but be warned that it
is made with a develpoment version of lyx. That's all I have
right now.

Never mess with the .lyx file unless you know what you do.
Latex commands either go in boxes of their own (insert-tex code)
or sometimes in the document preamble which you find in
the document settings dialog.

Sure, any latex reference manual should do. Also, search
the web. The LyX homepage have some pointers.

might find what I'm looking for if I google:
latex ERT

that I tripped over instructions to use the TeX icon to insert ERTs

I'd still like to find a good index/list of values that can be inserted

ERTs) But you've given me enough to make me sure that I can use lyx for

Question 2 of 3
Evidently \rhead{Page \thepage} yields: Page $currentpage
But how would I get Page $currentpage of $pagecount???
That is page 1 of 3, page 2 of 3, Page 3 of 3 etc...
Simple approach: put a label at the end of the document.
Then, use a reference to that label for getting the last page number.
There are also latex packages for doing this sort of thing, but no
support in LyX. Try this in the preamble:
\lhead{My pagenumber: \thepage{} of \pageref{last}}
\size huge
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
\size default
This seams to work as long as I use the exact label name I put at the
end of the document in my case that's:
\lhead{My pagenumber: \thepage{} of \pageref{LastPage}}
Question 3 of 3
Is there a list of {key words?} that can be used to insert values into

\layout Standard
\thispagestyle{fancy}
Well Hello Jim.
snip
What I get on opening the doc with lyx is An error pop-up that says:
Textclass Loading Error!
Encountered unknown token
When reading [filename]
Since the only place in my document's control codes I see braces {}
I also tried:
snip
\thispagestyle fancy
snip
With the same results (sigh!)
Any other suggestions?
Question 2 of 3
Evidently \rhead{Page \thepage} yields: Page $currentpage
But how would I get Page $currentpage of $pagecount???
That is page 1 of 3, page 2 of 3, Page 3 of 3 etc...
Simple approach: put a label at the end of the document.
Then, use a reference to that label for getting the last page number.
There are also latex packages for doing this sort of thing, but no
support in LyX. Try this in the preamble:
\lhead{My pagenumber: \thepage{} of \pageref{last}}
\size huge
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
\size default
This seams to work as long as I use the exact label name I put at the
end of the document in my case that's:
\lhead{My pagenumber: \thepage{} of \pageref{LastPage}}
Question 3 of 3
Is there a list of {key words?} that can be used to insert values into
header/footers such as
/thepage current output page number
/today Today's date
etc...
Sure, any latex reference manual should do. Also, search
the web. The LyX homepage have some pointers.
So using the acronym you used above as a guide, I'm guessing I
might find what I'm looking for if I google:
latex ERT
Worth a try anyway.
Thanks again!

Thanks for the prompt reply and the informative suggestion. However I
get an error message when I try this. As it happens the document I used
to try to do this with says:
\textclass letter
But when I try to insert either chapterpagestyle or thispagestyle
by, for example, changing this:
\layout Opening
Dear Jim,
\layout Standard
Well Hello Jim.
To this:
\layout Opening
Dear Jim,
\layout Standard
\thispagestyle{fancy}
Well Hello Jim.
What I get on opening the doc with lyx is An error pop-up that says:
"Textclass Loading Error!"
"Encountered unknown token

Since the only place in my document's control codes I see braces "{}"
I also tried:
\thispagestyle fancy
With the same results (sigh!)

I'm using lyx 1.3.7 on kubuntu linux (Dapper)
I started with the included letter template which I modified the margins
etc... for a NON business letter to my brother.
Then I used it to play with the fancy header example in the Extended
features manual. It took me a while to figure out that I couldn't use
\lhead{Section \thesection} in the letter if I wanted stable results...
Question 1 of 3
Why is the header/footer suppressed on page 1? That is how can I get
headers and/or footers to output on the first page???
Because you changed the page style for normal pages,
and the first page isn't normal in this case.
Usually, the first page is either a chapter page (if
your document style support chapters) or a title
page. Lyx does not suppot changing the chapter/title
page styles directly. You may use ERT
to set \chapterpagestyle to fancy if you wish.
Note that some document styles don't use
chapterpagestyle or titlepagestyle, they have other ways.
Usually, \thispagestyle{fancy} will do the trick though.
Make sure you put this ERT somewhere on the page you want changed.
