In the minibuffer (the bar at the bottom of the screen) type
accent-umlaut e

Hi,
Thanks very much for that answer. Sadly my problem seems a little more
complicated. I am using prosper (Weiss layout) and want the character
in the author field of the title page. When I do accent-umlaut e as you
suggest, lyx shows it beautifully. However, the letter is completely
omitted in the postscript version as if it hasn't been typed at all.
I have attached a very simple lyx file to show what I am doing.
Any help is very much appreciated.

Just type it directly in...
You may need to set up a compose key in X (search the net for how: you
may need to assign a key to mean "Compose" by using xmodmap)
