>> I would appreciate help for a few questions:
>> 1*
>> I know that Lyx is currently not
>> supporting directly the \caption[short legend]{long legend} command
>> However, my legends are quite long and the list of figures becomes too long
and
>> difficult to read. What should I do to create a short legend list? The
problem
>> is that the Tex command \caption[short legend]{long legend}
>> is not accepted in the figure environment of lyx. If I put the command
outside
>> the figure, the page listing does not correspond always to the actual
position
>> of the figure, because the figures are partly positioned at pages different
>> from the one where the figure is referred to. It is a book of several hundred
>> pages and about 300 figures, so handwork is difficult.
>From a previosu answer bt Jürgen Vigna:
------- Begin inclusion ----
Just change the "Figure: <your long caption>" line to "Standard-Layout"
(from caption), then Type this in TeX-Mode
"\caption[<short caption>]{<your long caption>}"
------- end inclusion ------
>> 2*
>> How do I get the chapter* title (i.e. this chapter is not numbered) in the

>> 3*
>> List of Figures
>> List of Tables
>> Chapter* Preface
>> Chapter* Introduction
>> How do I avoid that the page header `list of tables' is shown also on the
pages

>> Chapter* Preface and
>> Chapter* Introduction
>> until the next regular chapter
>> Chapter Biological clocks
>> has started?
Do both in the same shot: define in the preamble
\newcommand{\tocchap}[1]{\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\protect\numberline
{}#1}\markboth{#1}{#1}\thispagestyle{plain}}
(the \thispagestyle{plain} avoids headers on the chapter title page,
I use it with fancyhdr.sty and \pagestyle{fancyplain} to tune
precisly the header and footer elements).
The type in TeX
\tocchap{Preface}
...
after each starred \chapter
