LyX ⇒ Appendice in the contents page

[hooman]

Hi,
I've been using the following commnads before my appendices section:
\pagenumbering{Roman}
\appendices
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Appendices}

But what I get in my contents page is:

Appendices I
.1 Non-Dimensionalize Analysis I
.2 Finite Difference . . . . . . . . . II
.3 Pipe Conveying . . . . . . . . . . III


I need to know how to change .1, .2, etc to something that makes sence.. or just make them disappear!

Also does anyone know how I can change the content page margin or format without it affecting the rest of the documents?

Thanks!

Without knowing what document class you're using, exactly how these appendices are coded (as chapters or sections or what?), and so on, it's hard to give concrete advice, but look into the tocloft package for customizing the look of the table of contents.

Thanks.
I'm using the report document class and the the appendices are sections.

I would use the link u sent but I don't know how to install packages into lyx. In fact I've tried to install other packages for headers ect but I've been unsuccesfull so I'd appreciate guidance on that as well.

Many thanks!

I think I managed to solve the problem.
