er instead of above it. Also, there there any way to get the characters to appear in Greek on-screen (i.e. before converting the text to dvi)? I can do all this in gvim plus latex but it would be nice to have it in Lyx.

out before the letter, not on top of it. But I think this is something to do with the current version of Latex, not Lyx, because the same thing is now happening in native Latex as well. Looks like I shall have to give up trying to write Greek in Lyx and Latex for the time being, unless someone fixes it. This is on Debian Sid. I haven't tried in my rather ancient version of Ubuntu.

I'm using the default book category. The chapter headings come out on the left-hand (even number) page. This doesn't seem to be usual in any of the books I look at. Is there a way to make it appear on every page, or alternatively on the right-hand (odd number) page? Anthony -- Anthon
