That's normal. Not every document class has the same "components" aka layouts. So, the Tutorial cannot be converted to all document classes without errors. In real life you'll start with a document class you like or you were requested to do so by others. >> Protected Space is Option-Space.

It says "Protected Spaces, which are made by typing > C-Space". Ok. It's difficult to provide information like this consistently for all platforms. On a Mac you're using Command-o for "File open" and it's Control-o on Linux boxes. You may have a look at Help > Shortcuts. But the list of shortcuts there is not complete. LyX has a mechanism to describe shortcuts as they're defined for the given platform. But the author of the tutorial has to use it to give the reader the correct infos. This is not the case for your examples, unfortunately. Sorry. Regards, Stephan
