Re: question about "itemize"
Setting the environment to "Standard" and indenting did exactly what I wanted. Thanks to everyone who responded! -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users

He's received an easy and correct answer from three different people, in a timely manner. The OP has not responded. This was the OP's one and only post to this list.

Is there a way to have >paragraph 3 not be a new item? Yes. In the LyX environment, press the Enter key twice, and you'll start a new paragraph. If for some reason that doesn't work, go to the Environment dropdown and chooose Standard.

After doing everything as above, with the cursor in paragraph 3, use Insert > Custom Item to open a custom item inset. Leave the inset empty. I would put it at the start of the paragraph (just after the bullet inserted by LyX) for neatness, but I don't think it actually matters where in the paragraph you put it. The undesired bullet will still appear in the LyX GUI, but when you view the document it should be gone.
