Thanks for the reply. I am using LyX 1.4.3 and it wouldn't open your newe format file. I tried to do the same with using Ctrl-Return at the end of each section and putting \hrule in a TeX box. But I still had horizontal rules at the top of pages and end of pages. I compared my lyx code with yours for that and it appeared to be identical. What is the Ctrl-Return supposed to do with the context of the \hrule? And where is this documented? Jeremy C. Reed
