I need my document to start on page 3 and have section heading numbering
starting with d - for instance, d, d.1, d.2, d.2.1, d.2.2, e, e.1, ...
In my preamble I've found that I can put,
\setcounter{page}{3}
\setcounter{section}{3}
to give me 4, 4.1, 4.2, 4.2.1, 4.2.2, 5, 5.1, ... starting on page 3.
But, how can I change the first number to a letter?
I'm also wondering if I should ask things like this here, given that I
know no LaTeX and LyX may have a nice GUI way of doing some of these
things, or in a LaTeX forum given that the answer probably does involve
something else in the preamble.
