Thanks for the prompt reply and the informative suggestion. However I get an error message when I try this. - - - - - - - - -< s n i p >- - - - - - - - - - Ok, now I feel stupid: I'll confess I was trying to insert it to the filename.lyx file with vim... {Possible if I understood how, but...} I strongly dislike controlling my software via the mouse so I never noticed that the TeX icon had help text referring to the unfamiliar term Evil Red Text. And so didn't yet understand the function of "M-i t" or "C-l" key bindings. Which I'll admit is a lot easier than using vim to put all this: \begin_inset ERT status Open \layout Standard \backslash thispagestyle{fancy} \end_inset Just to get this ERT: \thispagestyle{fancy} - - - - - - - - -< s n i p >- - - - - - - - - - > > Question 3 of 3 > > > > Is there a list of {key words?} that can be used to insert values into > > header/footers such as > > > > /thepage current output page number > > /today Today's date > > etc... > Sure, any latex reference manual should do. Also, search > the web. The LyX homepage have some pointers. So using the acronym you used above as a guide, I'm guessing I might find what I'm looking for if I google: latex ERT Still haven't found a useful "list" yet But it was during this search that I tripped over instructions to use the TeX icon to insert ERTs so I'm glad I went there... I'd still like to find a good index/list of values that can be inserted to the header, footer (and/or I suspect inside the document body via ERTs) But you've given me enough to make me sure that I can use lyx for most of my writing needs. Now I can focus mostly on my writing, confident that I'll like letting lyx take care of MOST of the typesetting details... Thanks again Helge!
