Upper case headings

2002-11-28 Thread Kent Kostuk
My university's format is to have all major headings in upper case. How do I force LyX generated headings (i.e. Table of Contents, List of Figures, etc) to upper case? Here is a link to an example Table of Contents? http://www.usask.ca/cgsr/thesis/2000thesisguide_printed_copy.pdf Thanks Kent
