Hello everyone, I'm a new user of LyX. I decided to use it to typeset my
final project report for my undergrad degree. The ease of use is great, I had
been thinking about using LaTeX for a while and LyX is proving to be a great
way to get started.
I read the Tutorial that comes with version 1.

I'm sure there's a better way to do this, but this was the only one I
could come up with. What you have to do is find the style file for the
documentclass you are using. That's either a .sty or .cls file in your
texmf directory, usually texmf/tex/latex/base/*.cls. Then within that

The \pagenumbering command resets the page counter. If you want a few
unnumbered pages you can use:
\pagenumbering{gobble}
and
