Do you mean you want a titlepage? Report class, and several other classes put
author and title on their own page. The postscript output, viewed in eg.
ghostview, will show two pages (logically) numbered one. As long as no
pagenumber shows up on the printed output, this should be no problem.
Copy and past to and from LyX is notoriously fussy, and this looks like the
state of affairs for the forseeable future. Best thing is to do
File->Import->Ascii Text, or Insert->Insert File->... and then do your
formatting.
