Dear Chinasa, Go to View > Source Pane. A pane will open at the bottom of the LyX window that will show the LaTeX code that LyX is producing. There are a few options you can configure as well. Note that you cannot edit the LaTeX there. Another option is File > Export > LaTeX (pdflatex). That will create a file containing the LaTeX. Since you are new to LyX, consider reading Help > Introduction and Help > Tutorial and then Help > User Guide. Best, Scott
