Learning to use LyX for the first time, and following the tutorial (class is book). Two quick issues:
(1) The title & table of contents show up in the *.lyx document but do not show up in the corresponding *.pdf
(2) Material classified as “paragraph” or “sub-paragraph” does not wrap around in the *.pdf, the line is just cut-off at the right hand margin of the page
LyX ⇒ 2 issues following the tutorial
NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

2 issues following the tutorial
Never really used LyX, stayed at the LaTeX level.
I can tell you only something to your second point, a paragraph is a heading. Please don't confuse it with a paragraph in usul wording, or html, or xml, or common sense. Unfortunately a quite strange naming there.
In a normal document, the chance to need
part
chapter
section
subsection
subsubsection
paragraph
subparagraph
At least about that you can read in every good LaTeX introduction.

The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.

Re: 2 issues following the tutorial
Thanks. The first issue seems to have gone away - when I booted up my computer this morning and re-compiled the document, the title & TOC are working fine.

Re: 2 issues following the tutorial
Can you provide a LaTeX export of the LyX document (or a reduced copy) and attach it to a forum post here? So we could verify the issue to fix it.
