Thanks for the clarification, Doug. It might help us to have a complete, simple, example to play with. Can you give us the .lyx file and R code/file? To make things perfectly clear to us, it might help to give us a "before" version of the .lyx file and an "after" version of the .lyx file. To create the "after" version you would have to do the steps manually, but by seeing it we could make sure we understand what you want to automate and what you expect the result to be. Thanks for your patience, Scott
