Hello forum, I managed to insert a custom .cls file into the lyx interface as I can access it from the Documents->Settings.
But I get the following error once i try to generate a preview pdf . The errors are as follows: /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 1.

Try typing <return> to proceed. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// I am quite new to LaTex and I must use the custom class to write the report. Do I have to insert the required values as asked through the .layout file or the .clas file. Some hints over this issue is earnestly requested. Thanks Sajjadul
