You can adjust the sizes as they appear in LyX, if you like, by editing 
the layout files. Copy stdsections.inc to your local LyX directory, open 
it up in a text editor, and you'll see where the sizes and other aspects 
of the font are set. Change them as you wish. The details on font 
setting are in the Customization manual.


If you want to adjust the sizes in LaTeX, then use the titlesec package.

I don't see this (Fedora 8, LyX 1.6.2svn). Did you upgrade from a

Have a look at the package splitidx. You have to define a specific index 
converter in PreferencesOutputLaTeX (e.g. splitindex.pl -m 'makeindex -c-
q'), but it works quite well. If you want to reduce ERT, you can define 
custom insets in a module (with LyX 1.6). An example is attached.

multiple indexes and section numbers

[John White]

Folks, I use lyx 1.6.1 on a linux (vector linux slackware) OS platform.

1. I would sure like to be able to make multiple indexes in the article 
class.  I see an article in wikipedia about doing such in memoir class 
but don't want to use Book.


2. Also, I would love an easy way to turn off the horrible lyx section 
numbering machine (0.1) in article class and have it start instead at 
simple 1 (1).  If I fool with it enough, it seems to correct itself, but 
its hit and miss every time.


Thx

Memoir also has an article option. I use the multiple indexing
capabilities of Memoir a lot.

Alternatively, there are LaTeX packages that can do multiple indexes.
Try multind or index. I used index before switching to Memoir and
it worked well.

See the TeX FAQ: http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=multind

Memoir also has an "article" option. I use the multiple indexing
capabilities of Memoir a lot.

Alternatively, there are LaTeX packages that can do multiple indexes.
Try "multind" or "index". I used "index" before switching to Memoir and
it worked well.
