Well I have read the user's guide and tutorial about writing letters (using the "letter" class). (This is LyX 1.1.6fix1.)
What is "Closing" environment for? (I use it for "Sincerely,") How can I add my name and title below the "Closing"? (Or do I just do it manually with the "Standard" environment?) (I assume that I add a blank space by using "Signature" environment.) How do I use "Opening" environment? Or do I add my salutation manually (using "Standard" environment)? I tried it like: Opening: Dear IT manager, But that gave me three errors: Undefined control sequence. \opening{Dear IT manager,} and LaTeX Error: There's no line here to end. (My last problem was that I couldn't change the margins, then I selected "Use Geometry Package" and it worked. It would be nice if the margin fields showed the default settings for the class.) Manually formatting a letter only takes a few moments. Hopefully, I can learn to save a few seconds by using LyX. Thanks, Jeremy C. Reed http://www.reedmedia.net/
