IIRC, the highest level header in an article is ¨section¨ while the
highest level in a report (book?) is ¨Chapter¨, so basically what is
happening is correct, since you don't have declared a chapter.
Unfortunately i don't know a way to automatically change all section
headers in chapter headers (subsection to section etc..) except for
manually replacing it. You might consider editing the lyx file in an
editor (joe, vi, emacs) and change all the \section{ to \chapter{ etc..
Perhaps someone the list knows a better way..
