[Tex/LaTex] Removing or Editing the header on each page in LyX

amsartlyxtitles

My document is in (AMS article) mode. The title of my paper shows up as a header on each page. The problem is that the title is too long and it overlaps with the page number. I would like to use a different (shorter) header (one header for all the pages except the title page) or erase the header on each page altogether. How would I do either of these?

If the source code or preamble needs to be edited, can you explain how I can go about making the edit in LyX? (I.e., do I use ERT, edit the settings or something else?)

Here's the source code for the title, but I am not sure if it's helpful:

 \title{{\small{EST}}}

 \maketitle

My preamble is empty.

Edit: How can I make any of the suggested edits in the linked question in LyX?

Insert the title using the Title paragraph style. Then, while still within the title (preferably at the front, although it doesn't matter), Insert > Short Title or Alt + A, 1 and type the title that will be displayed in the header for all pages that are not the title page:

As a personal preference, I would forego the use of \maketitle in favour of having a little more freedom in typesetting the different style of the title page and what follows. In that regard, consider the following:

\documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{article}
\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}
\usepackage{lipsum}% http://ctan.org/pkg/lipsum
\usepackage{fancyhdr}% http://ctan.org/pkg/fancyhdr
\usepackage{mathptmx}

\pagestyle{fancy}
% Global fancy header style
\lhead{}
\chead{}
\rhead{Name, Title, Section}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0.4pt}
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0.4pt}

\setlength{\headheight}{14.5pt}

\begin{document}

% Set fancy header style for title page only (local fancy header style)
\fancypagestyle{titlepage}{
  \lhead{Name of Grant Council}% Grant name
  \rhead{}% Remove global (right) header 
  \renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
  \renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0pt}
}

\thispagestyle{titlepage}

\begingroup
  \centering \Huge
  Name\\Grant\\Research proposal\\Part B\\Title\\Acronym\\Length\\
\endgroup

\section*{test}
\lipsum[1-20]
\end{document}

The "title" is typeset using \centering\Huge, so there's no bold. Headings are set for the first page under the fancy style titlepage, that modifies only the title page headings (via \thispagestyle{titlepage}) - that is, this is a local change. The lipsum package was included merely to populate the document with some dummy text.

Title page with different heading

Of course, spacing after the heading can be adjusted as required (using, say, \bigskip or other vertical spacing techniques).
