I have been unable to create a pleading paper template. There is a laTex

However it does not work with lyx 2.0.5.1. And it seems needlessly
complex.
John,
Here are the step-by-step instructions to create a new LyX template based
on the article class and the pleadings code:
<http://blog.oak-tree.us/index.php/2009/11/02/custom-lyx-nih>.
I've attached the code you referenced as a .lyx file. N.B.: I've not had
to create a template from a .lyx file before or I would have done it with
this code.

#LyX 2.0 created this file. For more info see http://www.lyx.org/
