Yes, LyX yields an error if the new document class doesn't have some layouts elements of the old one (e.g. article doesn't have chapters, in contrary to book). A switch between book and book (koma) should be no problem, though (but vice versa, if you use koma's bonus features). > So i changed the headers, but the errors remains. Do you mean the red error boxes or the error when you try to view dvi/postscript/pdf? The latter shouldn't be the case. Normally, the error boxes disappear automatically with the next latex run. > So to fix this > problem i opened a new file and i copied into that new lyx file the text. > Isn't it a way too heuristic? ..yes of course to obtain something good from > anything i should at least know the tools...but lyx is a point&click > tool.... so i think that user should be obtain all that they wish using the > same "policy".

You can use "Insert->Short Title" to pass a short version of the section title to the toc and the headers. Or you can tweak fancyhdr to delete one of those parts. But I'd postpone those things until your thesis has been written. Just be aware that this is all possible. > >Does this help? > >http://wiki.lyx.org/pmwiki.php/FAQ/MultipleAuthors > > Yes. I read it.
