Hi everyone,

This is my first post. I'm using the memoir class to set type for a
book. I would like to make a few changes that I think are going to
require changes to a file someplace. I want to make the changes just
once, so that everyone in our office can get the same results
(uniformity) without having to know LaTeX. Here are the needed changes:

1. CHANGES TO THE TITLE

We want to use the demo3 title style used in the Memoir Manual
(memman.pdf) on page 147-148.

2. CHANGES TO PAGE HEADERS

We want to modify the default header in the following manner:

   --- Place a rule across the page under it.
   --- Make the font slightly smaller and boldfaced.

3. CHANGES TO THE QUOTE PARAGRAPH STYLE

   --- Do not want the right margin indented.
   --- Use a different, smaller font.

4. CHANGES TO THE TITLE AND SECTION HEADERS

   --- Use a sans serif font.

Concerning fonts, I was surprised that my installation of Lyx (version
1.5.5) does not use a sans serif font at all when printing a page, in
spite of the fact that in document/fonts I have 

Default Family: Roman
Roman         : Latin Modern Roman
Sans Serif    : Latin Modern Sans
Typewriter    : Latin Modern Typewriter

Instead Lyx uses the exact same serif font in the exact same size for
both Standard and Quote paragraph styles. The same serif font (but sized
bigger) is also used for chapter titles and section headers. This
doesn't seem right to me. Have I not set Lyx up properly?

Anyway, these few things are all that are needed to have conformity to
our style manual.

Any help will be deeply appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Lou
