Hello Richard,
Thank you very much for your detailed help. I will remove the bits of code that
might give conflicts.
The code in the LaTeX preamble did have comments, but I've removed them in my
post because some of them contained names of colleagues.
Regarding the fancyhdr package, could you please tell me how this can be
installed in LyX? I went to what I believe is the web page where this package
is downloaded, but I couldn't find any installation instructions for LyX.
Again, I appreciate the help,
Daisuke Koya
