Hi José, I'm not sure what you mean by the two alternatives above, so let me just tell you what I did. I created a small tsjfbooks.layout file in the books's directory. I then did this: ln -s /mybook/tsjfbooks.layout /home/slitt/.lyx/layouts/tsjfbooks.layout I then Tools->Reconfigure, then opened the LyX file, then Document->settings->DocumentClass and chose tsjfbooks.layout, and was able to use my Story environment. But the bad news is my navigation went away. I'll give one other clue. When I open the LyX file with LyX, calling LyX from a (Linux) command prompt, I get abunch of warnings: [EMAIL PROTECTED] tsjustfacts]$ lyx tsjustfacts.lyx New counter already exists: part New counter already exists: chapter New counter already exists: section New counter already exists: subsection New counter already exists: subsubsection New counter already exists: paragraph New counter already exists: subparagraph New counter already exists: enumi New counter already exists: enumii New counter already exists: enumiii New counter already exists: enumiv New counter already exists: bibitem New counter already exists: figure New counter already exists: table New counter already exists: algorithm New counter already exists: equation LyX: Unknown alignment `LeftMargin' [around line 13 of file /tmp/lyx_tmpdir6058ekMlTP/605827MUiz] [EMAIL PROTECTED] tsjustfacts]$ -- Steve Litt Author: Universal Troubleshooting Process books and courseware http://www.troubleshooters.com/ (Legal Disclaimer) Follow these suggestions at your own risk.
