Hi Graham,
I'm using LyX for many (probably at least five or six) years now. Before 
I had used plain LaTeX also for years.

I have invested some time and used my experience with LaTeX to design 
templates for LyX documents for a few different types of papers I need 
for my small one man business as a management consultant. It's 
essentially a business letter template and a general template for 
general papers like documentation for training give.

And I do not agree with Steve Litt this time to use word for ad hoc 
documents. Especially outlining is now a LyX feature since 1.5.?
So I put everything in an 'official' paper and I don't have to bother 
about what the document will look like later.

If you are interested in my templates send me a private Email, I can 
send you the LyX templates resp. the layout files for the document 
classes I have defined for my personal use, and there are also the 
respective style files which define my page layout and the titlepage etc.

Cheers

Hellmut
