So: Style Subject LatexType command LatexName subject # this tells LyX that it goes into Front Matter InTitle 1 End Very basic, with no special formatting, but it will work. The only one of the Front Matter commands you can't do this way is \thesisDate, because LyX doesn't yet do multi-argument commands. There will be support for that in 2.0, however. So, for now, you'd have to enter that as ERT. Any hint on how to do you find /subject to be treated as a Style? In the manual it specifies that it takes only one argument. Isn't that just above? One argument is easy. rh

Endnotes Only, No Bibliography
What if you've written a paper in the usual style, with citations distinct from footnotes and a bibtex generated bibliography, but this paper will ultimately be appearing in a book where the house style is to have only endnotes and no bibliography: all bibliographic information is given in the endnotes, in full form initially and then using Ibid or some abbreviated form for later citations of the same work. Is there a LyX or LaTeX way to automate the bibliographic information with this style? Bruce

can you explain to me what is the `double-cheked the spelling in the

By double-checking, I meant making sure you had not accidentally entered
something like \usepackage{MininPro} in the preamble. That does not
seem to be the problem, though. If kpsewhich returned no output, then
MiKTeX cannot find MinionPro.sty. Do you have more than one version of
MiKTeX installed on the machine?
You might try starting the MiKTeX Settings application and clicking
first Update Formats and then Refresh FNDB. Then run kpsewhich again
and see if it finds MinionPro.
