Hello!
I'm newby in TeX and LyX. I'm trying to make simple article but confused becose I can't make title page in simple way. I tried preinstalled document classes but all of them have no title page. Report classes have one but I don't need Chapters.
I'm trying to do it next way: make page separator after title, inser "\thispagestyle{empty}" in TeX to elemenate page number. But I can't center title on page vertically, it ignores all kinds of spaces (vspace, vfill...).
Please, help me make it simple way without creating new layout!
Thanks.

Insert > Formatting > Vertical Space > VFill (or any other space but don't forget to tick "Protect").
VFill without "Protect" is actually LaTeX's \vspace{\fill} command, which means it is ignored if comes at the beginning of a page. You may "activate" the spacing also by adding a nonbreakable space (Ctrl+Space) before VFill.
VFill with "Protect" is LaTeX's \vspace*{\fill} command, which means the space is in effect no matter where it comes, at the beginning of a page or somewhere else in a document.
