Starred stuff does not appear in the TOC. A LaTeX default. To add
starred stuff to the toc you would have to insert in ERT just after
the section in the text:
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Section name}
\addcontentsline{toc}{subsection}{Subsection name}
\addcontentsline{toc}{subsubsection}{Subsubsection name}

And FYI: That's the difference between section and section*: The former
gets a number and appears in the TOC; the latter gets no number and does
not, unless you do that:
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Section name}
\addcontentsline{toc}{subsection}{Subsection name}
\addcontentsline{toc}{subsubsection}{Subsubsection name}

Re: printing table of contents
I'm using lyx 1.6.1 (article) on a linux slackware system (vector 5.9). You helped me with the table of contents. Now I have another problem, this time with indexes. When I print out the document, indexed, the index only goes about half-way across the page. The right half of the page is blank. This means the page number is below the index text. I need the page number to be at the right of the page when the index is printed. Any ideas on how to get the index text when printed to spread across the full page will be most appreciated. Thank you. John Bob Lounsbury wrote: On Fri, Jan 9, 2009 at 9:38 AM, John White wrote: I'm using lyx 1.6.1 (article) on a linux slackware system (vector 5.9).

John Have you inserted sections or subsections or subsubsections into your document?

I haven't messed with indices much, and I'm not quite understanding what the problem is. Maybe you could post a screen shot or a small lyx example file showing the incorrect behavior and describe the expected behavior. /Bob
