[Tex/LaTex] Center part title in Lyx

formattinglyx

How can I, in tex code or directly in the Lyx GUI, put the part title in the center.

e.g. instead of this:

Part I

Introduction and Background theory

this:

              Part I

   Introduction and Background theory

Did you check the option to create a centered environment? E.g. \begin{center}Part I ...\end{center} or the switch \centering? That would be for how to center things in TeX. Whether the LyX GUI offers that option I don't know, but I would assume so. Sent from my phone. If needed a more detailed explanation with examples could be provided.

I see now. You could use
