The only way I ever found is to define a new "footnote" command and use it on the heading instead of the normal one. See here: https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/123762 Basically you add to the Preamble \makeatletter \def\myfnt{\ifx\protect\@typeset@protect \expandafter\footnote\else\expandafter\@gobble\fi} \makeatother and then to insert the "footnote" on the heading you use a TeX box (Ctrl-L) with the command \myfnt{the heading footnote} on it. The numbering integrates without problems with normal footnotes, only on LyX it will look kind of weird. But you can always define a character style ;) Regards, Ricardo > > Thanks! > > -- > Ekkehart Schlicht > Hurtenstr. 13 > <https://maps.google.com/?q=Hurtenstr.+13&entry=gmail&source=g> > 82345 Andechs-Frieding > Tel: +49 (0)8152 9149271 >
