Paul,

Sigh. Yes, I did that yesterday with a new document. The default when the
new doc opened was KOMA-Script Book. I changed it to KOMA-Script Report and clicked the link, "Save as Document Class." (Aside, it kept shifting back to
Book and I kept changing that to Report.)

Now, starting a new doc the default class is "KOMA-Script Book" which is why I thought there might be another place that actually set the default class I
want.

Thanks,

Rich

Rich,

Are you saying that the doc class within a document kept changing back to Book on its own, or that the default class kept changing back to Book? I would have no explanation for the former. The latter might indicate a permissions problem with the directory where the default is saved.

Speaking of which, if you go to ~/.lyx/templates, you should see a file named defaults.lyx. That's your default starting document. All else failing, try creating an empty doc with the Report class, saving it to /tmp with the name defaults.lyx, and then moving it over to the templates directory.

Paul
