Lyx : After Changing numbering, Part appears in regular text in pdf

Question

Lyx. Document class : article (paper)

I wanted numbering for the TOC but without the "Part I" before it.

So I went to Document -> Settings -> Numbering & TOC and changed the numbering column to "no" for all (Part , Section etc.) .

Now when I define some text as Part it doesn't show up next to Part I as desired. The problem is that in the PDF the text appears as regular text not big bolded text as normal.

What is strange is that if I define some text as section it does appear in its usual big bolded text.

Any ideas?

As Torbjørn mention, one solution is to use another class, as article or extarticle.

With paper class, you can define the part title as Part* (instead of Part)followed with a ERT box (Ctrl+L)with \addcontentsline{toc}{part}{Part title}

Or simply, put all in a ERT as in plain LaTeX:

\part*{Part title} 
\addcontentsline{toc}{part}{Part title}
