Thanks Bob! Indeed I've got my thesis formatting fine now just after a little more tweaking and adding flags from the latex file into LyX. I suppose these could be removed by making a template for the various parts?
So this fix just redefined maketitle to do nothing, correct? Maybe a flag to change this could be nice in the future (in properties of a title perhaps?) Thanks for your help and getting me moving. B.
