Hi, i'm new to LyX (i have a bit of experience with LaTeX though) - i'd like to help my friend to migrate her work from Word (bleh) to LaTeX world, and i thought that LyX might be a good way. I wanted to check if LyX suits us by compiling some LyX samples and modifying them, so i opened some LyX templates (File -> New from Template). To my great disappointment, i don't have any idea what the names of most of them mean (what is ijmpc, for example?). Moreover, in most cases LyX says "The selected document class requires external files that are not available". I've only succeeded with "letter" (which is quite straightforward) and "thesis" (partly). Am i missing something big? Is there any simple article template? Would it be good to suggest changing templates' names to something more intuitive?
thanks in advance, Janek Warchoł (from Poland)
