This sounds silly, but I've been through all the help files, and I can't see
a way to underline some text. Yes, I know it's a moderately tacky holdover
from typewriter days, but I need to underline a few words here and there in
a document to meet exter

Your ideas are pretty interesting (and I can think of a few situations for

Just what I was looking for, didn't know where to find it (was
looking in Insert->Specal Characters). Thanks.
I've got some text (and tabulars) I'd like to appear at the bottom
of a page. I tried putting it in a minipage and setting alignment to bottom,
but this did nothing.
I made an environment (gameoutput) in a new style (attached). If you
make a document with text in a gameoutput environment, the first character
is always deleted. If you make the text "foo", the output is a shaded box
with "oo" in it. I'm at my wit's end trying to track this down, please he

I have a paragraph I want to tweak the indentations on, but the
'more' and 'extra' buttons the Tips page (below) mentions don't exist. Is
this broken in 1.2.1? Is there an ERT workaround?
I've some paragraphs I'd like to indent a bit from the left margin.
I checked Herbert Voss' tips page and found the following, which makes it
seem there's an easy (not-ERT) way of doing this. Unfortunately, the 'more'
(or 'extra') button it describes simply doesn't exist. I'm using LyX 1.2.
I'm working with several smallish documents that cross-reference
each other and are included in one large document. I tend to jump around
between the documents as I think of things to add or references to make, but
I'm hampered by needing to take my hands off the keyboard to do so.

This sounds very silly, but I'm having trouble with the typewriter
font. I'm writing some docs which occasionally direct the user to do
something (ls -l) and having trouble marking it as a command. I select text,
click the Font button in the toolbar, and nothing happens. I can go to

what I need to set, but adding the following doesn't work even th

I've got a document that I'm renumbering a little - instead of

Thanks, I can adapt this to do just what I'm looking to do.
I'm writing the specification of a piece of software and want to be
