To open a template, click File???New
from Template. A list of available templates appears. You can use the templates to create letters,
slides, articles, and so on.
In addition to offering standard editing functions, such as cut, copy, and paste, the Layout menu
enables you to perform a variety of markup functions. As for mathematical functions, the Math
menu enables you to insert fractions, square root, exponent, sum, and integral functions into your
document. When you are done, you can:
 Print the file to a PostScript printer or output a PostScript (.ps) file. (Click File???Print,
select the printing method, and then click OK.)
 Export the file to LaTeX, DVI, PostScript, or ASCII Text. (Click File???Export and choose
from the list of file formats.)

extra white space appears between lines by pressing Enter multiple times.
Because LyX supports style files, it enables you to create documents that meet several different
standards. For example, LyX supports typesetting for the American Mathematics Society (AMS)
