Alignment question

[N Castro]

Thanks,

\raggedright seems to have made fewer hyphenations.

But now I have some more question! In one section, the
first line of the second paragraph extends 2 letters
beyond the margin when I view the dvi file. I'm not
sure why... the out of place word ends with "ed" if
that matters.

for example:
In Margin Margin Margin Margin Margin
Margin Margin Margin Margin Margin Margin
Margin Margin Margin Margin Margin Margin
Text in this paragraph this word is out
Margin Margin Margin Margin Margin Margin
Margin Margin Margin Margin Margin Margin
Margin Margin Margin Margin Margin Margin
Margin Margin Margin Margin Margin Margin

I've been reading the tutorial in LyX, and have
learned that the 1st paragraph following sections and
chapters aren't indented.

Reading the tut is taking some time, so I hope
everyone can have patience with the kinds of easy
questions I'm asking.

One more question I have is, how do I edit the class
files or add my own? I would like to change the
chapter class to have the chapter titles centered.

Thanks, and hope everyone has a good evening!

Newbie Questions

[N Castro]

Hi everyone.

I'm new to using LyX (and still new to using linux in
general) and I have a few questions.  I want to use
LyX to setup the formatting for a text book I want to
self publish.  It will have some sections and
chapters, I have been looking at the tips and tricks
section on the main lyx site, but I still have a few
questions that I couldn't find there.

I want the book to be arranged as such:

Introductions
 Chapter A
 Chapter B
Theory
 Chapter C
Design
 Section 1
  Chapter D
  Chapter E
 Section 2
  Chapter F
  Chapter G

I think I would use some arrangement like Part,
Chapter, Section, but I don't want the extra numbers
(such as 1.1.1 subsection, or Chapter 1- Chapter
title), I would like to just have the names of each
section. How would I do this?

Also, LyX is hyphenating my text when it reaches the
margins. How do I disable this feature? I would rather
have text not hyphenated.

Thanks for the help!
