lawlist was kind enough to send me the code which, he says, produses a table of contents and list of authorties in latex, using pdflatex.. But it does not work in lyx. Do you have a suggestion regarding how I could get TOC and indexes to work in lyx documents which have numbered lines along the left-hand side of the paper? It is apparently not an easy thing to do. Yet every lawyer who uses lyx to produce a brief with indexes and a table of contents needs this function. John
