I guess that is by design. :-) The start sections are to be used when you want to give emphasis to some part of your document but do not want it to show in TOC. Notice that koma class of layouts as a style called addchap, addsect and addpart that act as start section but show in TOC. > I can see unnumbered sections in the frontmatter of a book or report, > but to not have headers with the sectioning titles?

You can use Document->Settings->Numbering and TOC to control this. You can use sections (and derived) without a number. By default only paragraph and subparagraph (level 4 and 5) are not numbered. You can easily change that there. Try it. :-) > Just curious, > > Rich -- José Abílio
