This must be trivial. I am new to LyX but I have read most of the 183 page User Guide and not found the answer. When I change the justification setting (to remove right justify) it only does it for the current paragraph. Document-Settings-Textlayout offers very limited ability to make changes.
If I open the Customization Guide, the heading says "Features for the Advanced User". Surely something as trivial as turning off justification does not require advanced user customization. It looks like local layout may be the answer. But the customization guide says enter a format tag and searching the guide for "format tag" yields no results.
Is there an easy way to do this?

Open up
stdclass.inc
and find theStandard
style:The
Align
property designates the default justification under theStandard
style. In the above case, the default isBlock
. Available alignments are given underAlignPossible
Block
= Justified (or left- and right-aligned);Left
=\raggedright
Right
=\raggedleft
Center
=\centering
Change
Align
toLeft
and insert it as a Local Layout under Document > Settings... to obtain a\raggedright
output:Of course, it would also be possible to define your own, new paragraph style.
An easy LaTeX-type way of achieving this is by issuing
\raggedright
in your Document > Settings... > LaTeX Preamble.
