Just to close off this thread: I believe that the problem arose in how I came to use IEEEtrans. I originally wrote my piece using the standard Article class, then switched to IEEE class. Things looked pretty good until I looked more closely, then I realized that there were certain problems, including the one I described above. Others included wrong text size on figure and table captions and no drop cap on the first paragraph. I copied and pasted sections from the Article in LyX into a blank IEEE template in LyX and most of the problems went away. I still had to fiddle around to get things right. I suspect that had I originally written the piece in the IEEE LyX template, there wouldn’t have been problems. It seems that it is expecting too much to have all formatting, or even major aspects of formatting, be preserved when switching document classes within LyX. Thanks for the comments. Jerry
