Re: roman numbers

2006-06-05 Thread Eric Zollars

In the book class you can just use the ERT at the beginning of the document:
\pagenumbering{roman}

and in Chapter 1:
\pagenumbering{arabic}

no preamble needed.

Dear lyx-users

I have almost completed writing a thesis using the book-type lyx
document. Unfortunately, I'm struggling to insert roman numbers for the
first few introductory pages, followed by usual arabic numbering
starting at Chapter 1. I know the solution has something to do with
inserting latex commands (listed in the users guide extended features) 
via the Preamble option. I'm struggling with the details of how to use

the Preamble. Would you please send me some advice?

Hmmm... I would use uppercase serif letters. Works pretty well for me. 
What are you looking for?

Hi Andre

I'm looking for a "V" with an over- and an underline, like the usual roman 5 
is written.
