Hi Rikki
I very much appreciate you help and prompt response.
I will follow your directions and report back on how it goes and with any
issues if they arise.
FYI: I am with LiveTex
Kudos to lyx.org – they make life so much easier for non-LaTex experts like me 😊
Best regards,
George

Hi Every one,
I am a happy user of LyX on windows 10 and have enjoyed the ease of use
developing a 308 page book manuscript.
However as I am naïve about things LaTeX I need advice on the following.
I used a book template that I found on my LyX installation, but the publisher
(Springer Nature) wants their own format.
I found the relevant LaTex download svmono at:
<https://www.springer.com/gp/authors-editors/book-authors-editors/your-publication-journey/manuscript-preparation#toc-49272>
https://www.springer.com/gp/authors-editors/book-authors-editors/your-publication-journey/manuscript-preparation#toc-49272
But I have two Questions:
Q1: where do I place the components of svmono inside the LyX package so that I
can open the Springer *.tex book template in LyX?
Exactly how you will do this depends upon what TeX installation you are using:
MikTeX or TeXLive. Depending which it is, pages like this one:
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/336024/add-a-specific-document-class-created-by-a-journal-to-the-directory
will provide instructions on how to do it. Basically, you just need to copy the
svmono files into your TeX tree, and then update the TeX database. If you see
svmono in TeXLive, and that's what you are using, then you can just install it
that way.
Then you will need to reconfigure LyX, so it knows about the new files.
Q2: When I do open the Springer template in LyX how do I move the contents of
my *.lyx book manuscript into the Springer template?
You may not need to do that: Just change the document class under Document>
Settings to svmono. You'll likely need to adapt your existing book in various
ways, but that should not be too bad. If you want, you can File> Import the
svmono template. It's just a LaTeX file. Then you can use that as a guide for
the changes you need to make.
