Thanks Gunnar - the answers package fixes the spacing problem, so I've switched my document to use it. > To get it working more easy, I put the stuff below into my lyx > configuration files.

Have had some problems with your preamble: > \Newassociation{sol}{Svar}{ans} > {\theorembodyfont{\upshape} \newtheorem{uppg}{Uppgift}} > \newenvironment{ug}{\begin{uppg}\normalfont}{\end{uppg}} Which gave an "Undefined control sequence." error: {\theorembodyfont {\upshape} \newtheorem{uppg}{Uppgift}} The control sequence at the end of the top line of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue, and I'll forget about whatever was undefined. This example from the answers package documentation works: \Newassociation{sol}{Solution}{ans} \newtheorem{ex}{Exercise} Also can't get the bind file to be recognized by lyx. I created a myShortcuts.bind file in ~/.lyx/bind with the text you gave. And I put the layouts text in ~/.lyx/layout/myLayout.layout. But LyX didn't seem to pick them up automatically. Tried Tools -> Reconfigure and restarted LyX but that made no difference either.
