Issues with Table of Contents

[George Leach]

Hello fellow LyX users,
I'm currently heading for a last minute deadline and have found a couple of 
small hitches with my document in LyX. I was hoping I might get some help 
(one can but try). If people would like to see the document before 
commenting please just ask and I'll be willing to send it asap.

Firstly and foremost. I'm having difficulties with ToC. I have my document 
in "book" environment and have set out 4 or 5 chapters using solely 
description, enumerate, itemize, section, subsection, subsection*, chapter, 
and chapter*. I included the TOC button just below my title and when I hit 
view DVI....blank..CONTENTS and then an empty page...Any ideas (I have 
checked the document settings>numbering>ToC = 5)?

Secondly. I guess I'm trying to have my cake and eat it. (I expect the 
'proof' environment doesn't work within 'Book' ) I would like to add some 
nice proof symbols at the end of my proofs...I have found a likely contender 
for the box but cannot get the \hspace command working.

I'm a complete LaTeX newbie so could any responses be as comprehensive in 
LaTeX (and LyX) input as possible.
Thanks in advance
Regards
George Leach
