Rich, i wish to assure you that the things are not changed in these years. But probably you could not understand, due my bad english, that i does not told you that there aren't layout conventions, instead i meant that i don't know how to setup lyx to understand what i wish.... Infact i told: >>Probably my professors as me can see if the document has > > a good layout or not, but we don't know the name of the "good layout" > > with lyx...for this reason i asked to this mailing-list. While when i wrote this: > > I don't know if the my university has a fixed style...and i don't know > > how to ask this. I done an error! ....I know the style, but i don't know its lyx name. Sorry for my error. Is it a book, a koma-book, a newspaper article, a seminar? With lyx i see only the layout names, not what a layout implies too....so must i prove all them? I hope i could use a more scientific approach.... Isn't there an official guide that explains the margin convenction that a style implies? I tried with the lyx site, but i was not able to see what i'm looking for... So i just asked to the "Lyx mailing list"....if I offended you, i'm sorry.
