I would like to change the default layout of paragrahs so that they appear left aligned rather than justfied. In my preamble I will put the command \RaggedRight, which will make he paragrahs left aligned. But when I work with the paragraph in lyx, they will still appear to be justfied, which in my opinion makes them very hard to work with. When I insert text in the middle of a paragraph, the lines have to continually adjust themselves, creating a distraction. (I'm surprised this does't drive anyone else crazy--or maybe it does?)
I know that back 7 years ago or so there was a way to change the default layout of paragraphs. I lost the notes on how this was done. I hope it is still possible to do this. I know that I can go into the edit menu and change the paragraph settings, but this setting only appears to work for one paragraph, not for every paragraph. And besides, I notice that LyX then encloses the paragraphs in a flushleft environment, something I don't really want, since the RaggedRight command already makes my paragraphs left aligned. Also, I may want my paragraph to appear justfied in the PDF, but still want them to appear left aligned so that I can edit them more easily. I have looked at the LyX tutorial, but I couldn't find any concrete examples on how to make my own layout. I have checked in my ~/.lyx directory and notice that I have nothing in either my example directory or my layout directory. Thanks Paul
