Thank you very much for your rich suggestions. I've sorted out the
problem thanks to them.
* Concerning to child documents, I'll have to consider seriously that
option when I have definitively finished to rewrite and update this
subject I'm working at the moment. Now the main thing was to print this
chapter indeed. Besides, there is currently a previous chapter that is
not concluded yet.
* I've put that code with ERT just after the title of the chapter, then
I saw with "view dvi" and yes! ...working. Then I just had to add a set
of "false" chapters (1, 2, 3, 4) just before the beginning of the real
chapter (5), and then printing. I know this is not much elegant, but
it's OK for now, until I have the whole set of chapters (units) of the
"book" (subject); after that, in several weeks I'll probably do what you
suggest, a "master document".
* In respect to the chappg packages... yes, I've checked it and they
are already installed. My knowledge about LaTeX is about close to
"zero", so let's things stay as it for now, if the above is covering my
necessities rightly.
Thanks again, rh.
