This depends upon the document class, but chapters normally set the page style to something specific. So one way to do it would be to redefine that page style...whatever it is. But to explain how to do that we need more information, at least what document class you are using. And probably also more specifically what you want to put in the header. Richard

I think this will do it:
\fancyhead[LE,RO]{\thepage}
(put this in the preamble); might need to add
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
as well but I'm not sure about that.

Re: Problem about Lyx2+
Does the MiKTeX bin directory appear on you system command path (prior to any other LaTeX installation, and prior to Cygwin if you have Cygwin installed)? You might try setting Tools > Preferences > Paths > PATH Prefix to point to the MiKTeX bin directory and then try to reconfigure. Paul

The file format and the definition of the converter should probably happen within LyX, anyway. I'll be happy to add this to 2.0.4. Richard

This looks like a problem in the kerning tables of the fonts. It seems to me
that LatinModern does a better job at kerning these character pairs.
Fixing the kerning is difficult, see
http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/10455/is-there-a-way-to-adjust-kerning-
for-a-specific-character-combination
If you need this specific font, you could define a macro such as
\newcommand\myve{V\kern-1pt é}
Where you fix the kerning for specific pairs (and sizes). A crude hack, I
know.
You might also check the TeXGyre Pagella font instead of Palatino. Pagella is
a Palatino clone from the LatinModern makers.

kerning and accented characters
Hello: Certain character pairs look very ugly in lyx/latex output. For example if V is followed by Hungarian accented a or e (ie. á or é) it looks very ugly. See the attached lyx and pdf files. I know that I could use \kerning command to adjust the distance between the characters but how could I avoid inserting the command at every occurrence of such character pairs?

You can change the margins in
In Documents->Settings>Page Margins
3. Vertical spacing of Section defined in preamble not working on some
reason. I is defined as 6cm but on the paper it is 3cm.

4. How to got aspell working under Windows 7.
Unfortunately, aspell is no more supported on recent LyX on Windows,
IIRC. You'll have to use Hunspell instead (not as good in my experience).
Best regards,
Olivier.
