You were right but I was not wrong :-) I put the word "openany" without the quotes into Options text box of the Document->Settings->DocumentClass dialog box to cure the problem, just as both you and Jean-Marc Lasgouttes suggested. Thanks to both of you. The default in a brand new LyX document for which I've selected the book document class and one side printing is that chapters start on any page even if Document->Settings->DocumentClass->Options is blank. That's why I said I wasn't wrong. However, when I selected my own document class derived from Book, it suddenly did OpenRight when the Document->Settings->DocumentClass->Options is blank and single sided printing has been selected. Some time when I have time I'll isolate the difference down to a specific variable. I have a hunch but don't have time to prove or disprove that if I'd created a Book derived document class that did absolutely no change to Book, it would still default to OpenRight. Anyway, thanks a lot for helping me with that. You saved a couple hours of troubleshooting.
