LyX ⇒ Bad section notation in reports

[TriKri]

Hi!

I'm using LyX for the first time and I thought I'm gonna write a physics report using it instead of Word, because it is more strict. It is only that, when I change document class to report the section index changes from 1 to 0.1. So instead of "1 Introduction" it says "0.1 Introduction". I have a feeling that my instructor will complain about the notation, and I think it's uggly! Is it supposed to be like this? Is it possible to change it in the settings somewhere without changing from report? Maybe if reports is supposed to be like this, I can live with it.

In "article" class the highest level sectional unit is "section". So, if "Introduction" is a section, it states: "1 Introduction".

In "report" class the highest level sectional unit is "chapter". So, if "Introduction" is a section, it states: "0.1 Introducion", because you do not have "chapter" unit preceding "section". "Section" should always be part of "chapter" sectional unit.

You may stick with "article" class or consider reorganizing your document so that you have chapters in it too.
