Please CC me on answers. I often collaborate with people who (still) prefer LaTeX, and also submit papers to conferences that make it easy to submit latex via style/class/sample.tex files. This makes it important to be able to work in LyX, but debug/modify in latex, then continue working in Ly

JASA.lyx: Error in latexParagraphs: You should not mix title layouts with normal ones.

I get the following error when exporting templates/JASA.lyx: output_latex.cpp (): Error in latexParagraphs: You should not mix title layouts with normal ones. Is there something in the layout that needs fixing? Scott

Exporting via ps2pdf works fine, but pdflatex and luatex fail. I think pdflatex fails because of converting the eps to pdf. I thought I had fixed a similar error before with the following: epstool --copy --bbox platypus.eps --output platypus2.eps But this did not help. Any ideas? Scott
