1. Make copy of article.layout renamed as article-aer.layout
2. Changed -
\DeclareLaTeXClass{article}
To
\DeclareLaTeXClass[article, aer.sty]{article (aer)}
And added -
Preamble
\usepackage{aer}
EndPreamble
Better to use "AddToPreamble" here, lest you accidentally over-write
something.
3. Saved article-aer.layout in C:\Program Files\LyX16\Resources\layouts
4. Open lyx, reconfigure, exit lyx
5. Reopen lyx, start new document, go to documents\settings choose "article
(aer)" as document class, clicked OK
6. Tried a test document
I did this much, with the attached layout file and aer.sty (from CTAN),
and the simplest possible test file (nothing but "sss"), and it compiled
fine. What else is in your document?

RE: Converting sty to layout
Hi Vincent and Richard, now i am getting a different problem, I'm new to lyx
1.6.6.1 so i must be doing something erroneous. Let me detail my steps
1. Make copy of article.layout renamed as article-aer.layout

6. Tried a test document
7. Then tried to view DVI or PS
Got the following error
"Undefined control sequence.
Undefined control sequence.
LaTeX error: Missing \begin{document}." Etc
With the following Description
" \nopagenumbers
The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have
misspelled it (e.g., `\hobx'), type `I' and the correct
spelling (e.g., `I\hbox'). Otherwise just continue,
and I'll forget about whatever was undefined."
Advice much appreciated!
Andy

We do need really detailed information about this. I can't imagine how
this might happen. I've tried it with both 1.6.6 and trunk, and don't
see any reversion no matter what I do.

Converting sty to layout
Hi all, I would like to know how to convert a sty file to a layout file. I have read the help\customization pages and followed the steps but it doesn't seem to work. My situation 1) Downloaded miktex along with lyx 2) Installed "vertex" latex package with miktex which includes an "aer.sty" file a. This "aer.sty" file is located in C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.8\tex\plain\vertex 3) Followed steps in lyx help\customization to create a layout file that is of the "article" class a. This "articleaer.layout" file is located in C:\Program Files\LyX16\Resources\layouts 4) Reconfigured lyx Problem 1) The "article (aer)" does appear in document\settings\document class 2) But once i select it and start typing, it reverts to the plain "article" layout which is the incorrect layout. Your advice on how i could solve this is most welcome!
