Cheers--
I did everything you suggested, and there are no more error messages.
Jeers--
It only kinda works.
The original document rendered as dvi without complaint, but did not heed
my single spacing instructions. I thought that might be something to do
with my original file, so I made a new one with just three lines, and no
other formatting but single spacing. It worked! But when I right, left, or
center align it (with the paragraph dialog) it doesn't work (It double
spaces, I think). It only works with the default alignment of "justified".
Boooo!
Is there any kind of example LyX document with different formatting tests?
For all I know there might be many other problems with my installation
preventing documents from rendering correctly.
Thanks so much for your help.
(And no, I was not fully operational either even before using LyX.)
