If not, then you'll have to wait for someone with LyX knowledge to come along and suggest something.

No no, I got it all working great because of your help. Thanks alot!

Oops, I didn't notice this was the LyX subforum. (I have to start paying attention to that.) I don't know anything about Lyx. If it allows you to mark-up the LaTeX yourself, you just need to change:

\addcontentsline{toc}{lof}{list of figures}

to

\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{List of Figures ...

well the nice thing about it is that you can add in LaTeX code in a LyX file and at the same time observe the LaTeX source code change as it is generated by LyX. I will try your suggestion and let you know how it turns out.

I have been working with the "report" class for writing my masters thesis. There are are 3 small (Chapter*)'s for acknowledgments and and such before the first chapter that are numbered with roman numerals and do not show up in the TOC. I need to edit the TOC to include these and also to rename the ...

I'm sorry, I don't know :(

You could add the abstract 'manually' using page breaks as needed, and the \setcounter command previously mentioned, something like

\pagenumbering{roman}
\thispagestyle{plain}
\hfill
\vspace{0.3\textheight}

\begin{center}
\textbf{Abstract}\\[1em]
This is my abstract ...

I don't know a general way to stop the page counter reseting, but you could try using
\setcounter{page}{5}
or whatever number you need before/after the abstract, if you run out of time and no other solutions are suggested.

How do I force the abstract to have a page number though, because so far ...
