@lawquest -- I see now that you are using a "LyX – The Document Processor" from https://www.lyx.org/ . I briefly downloaded and took a look at that application today and decided that it would be too much time/effort to configure and familiarize myself with it, solely for the purpose of helping you ...

Nothing in the code that was posted above contemplates an index, and the index is not something I am familiar with. What is an index and where are you trying to insert it?

I was looking for a workaround to the inability of OSX texlive to specify an aux_dir (i.e., "pdflatex: (Pdf)LaTeX failed to generate the expected log file").

Under certain circumstances the \usepackage[]{geometry} definition fails to properly control the bottom margin on the first page. When this initial definition fails (e.g., due to an inability to play nice with fancyhdr), it is possible to use the \newgeometry command as a workaround ...

I'm trying to set up a simple letter with a multi-line header on the first page, and a different multi-line header on all subsequent pages. The problem is that my headers push the text body completely off the bottom of the page. Here is the code I'm using.
\documentclass[10pt]{article}
