Hello again, I thank both of you for the help.
However, through trial and error, I actually figured out the problem by myself. As I don't know LaTeX, it seems I have confused "pdfauthor" with "\author", the latter which is at the end of the preamble. I don't know what the markup \title{}\author{FirstName LastName}\date{2009-11-17} exactly means, but changing the spacing between "FirstName" and "LastName" above, did the trick. % This file was converted to LaTeX by Writer2LaTeX ver. 1.0 % see http://writer2latex.sourceforge.net for more info \usepackage{amsfont...@ifundefined{definecolor} {\usepackage{color}}{} \usepackage{array}\usepackage{hhline}\usepackage{hyperref}\hypersetup{pdftex,colorlinks=true,linkcolor=blue,citecolor=blue,filecolor=blue,urlcolor=blue,pdftitle=,pdfauthor=,pdfsubject=,pdfkeywords=}% Page layout (geometry) \setlength{\voffset}{-1in}\setlength{\hoffset}{-1in}\setlength{\topmargin}{1.27cm}\setlength{\oddsidemargin}{1.27cm}\setlength{\textheight}{25.259cm}\setlength{\textwidth}{19.05cm}\setlength{\footskip}{0.0cm}\setlength{\headheight}{0cm}\setlength{\headsep}{0cm}% Footnote rule \setlength{\skip\footins}{0.119cm}\renewcommand{\footnoterule}{\vspace*{-0.018cm}\setlength\leftskip{0pt}\setlength\rightskip{0pt plus 1fil}\noindent\textcolor{black}{\rule{0.25\columnwidth}{0.018cm}}\vspace*{0.101cm}}% Pages styles \makeatletter\newcommand{...@standard}{ \renewcomma...@oddhead{} \renewcomma...@evenhead{} \renewcomma...@oddfoot{} \renewcomma...@evenfoot{} \renewcommand\thepage{\arabic{page}} }\makeatother\title{}\author{First Last}\date{2009-11-17} On 17 Nov 2009, at 13:34, Uwe Stöhr wrote: > Daisuke Koya schrieb: > >> I would like to know how I can change the first and last name spacing. >> When I preview the "Title" environment, the author portion comes out: >> FirstLast >> Instead of >> First Last >> with a space. > > What document class are you using, can you please provide a _small_ LyX > example file? > > regards Uwe
