It doesn't seem to matter whether the node is collapsed or not. If the node is uncollapsed when I demote, it only demotes the selected heading (nothing new there). If the node is collapsed when I demote, lyx will present me with an uncompressed node with only the top heading demoted. > > Anders > > > On 25 jan 2008, at 14.21, shiknar wrote: > > > On 1/25/08, Anders Ekberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> Click the triangle next to 2.
