Richard, thanks for your offer to send you the lyx file, but at the moment it's not necessary.
I think I got the hyphenation working, even though I don't know what I did. Yesterday evening, last pdf preview it showed the error in the log, now my pc is rebooted this morning, I take a look again, and hyphenation works as expected. Perhaps I did something right, but it needed to be reconfigured on a reboot. No idea why though. and about the Section* yes, I use these. Ahh, I get it, I should not have used the unnumbered sections!! What the hell? Now that is what I call thinking the wrong way about usability. It's like with that date thing. Adding the authors name to the title automatically adds todays date to it. You have to find a menu, somewhere and check 'suppress default date on front page', instead of just inserting 'date' to your page if you'd want it. So for an automatic TOC, numbered sections are a requirement. That's quite a useless restriction. If I didn't wan't a TOC I wouldn't insert one. And I guess I'll have to add latex code to get rid of the numbering now, right? grtz, Bart http://www.bartart3d.be/ 2011/8/5 Richard Heck <rgh...@comcast.net> > On 08/05/2011 03:52 PM, bart deruyter wrote: > >> Writing a book, I decided to use the book class.
