Hi, I discovered something odd in LyX 1.2.3 (Win32 port, running on Cygwin/Win XP). I have a trivial document set to use US letter size paper (8.5 in. by 11 in.) with one inch margins all around. I've tried both article and AMS article class, and the anomaly appears in both.
When I view the document, WinDVI generates a number of identical log messages: special not handled: papersize=614.28833pt,794.96765pt The messages are harmless but annoying. Now if I go to the document layout menu, change paper size from US letter to default and back to US letter (without saving or viewing the document in between), then preview again, the log messages do not recur. I exported to LaTeX before and after "waggling" the paper size, and found the following change. Initial: %% LyX 1.2 created this file. For more info, see http://www.lyx.org/. %% Do not edit unless you really know what you are doing. \documentclass[11pt,english]{article} \usepackage{pslatex} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage[latin1]{inputenc} \usepackage{geometry} \geometry{verbose,letterpaper,tmargin=1in,bmargin=1in,lmargin= 1in,rmargin=1in} ... Áfter waggling the paper size: %% LyX 1.2 created this file. For more info, see http://www.lyx.org/. %% Do not edit unless you really know what you are doing. \documentclass[11pt,letterpaper,english]{article} \usepackage{pslatex} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage[latin1]{inputenc} ... Notice that the paper size argument has moved up to the document class declaration, and the geometry package is now not being loaded (even though LyX still shows the margins being set at one inch on all sides). I haven't tested to see if the margins are incorrect after a waggle. I never saw this behavior in earlier versions of LyX. -- Paul ************************************************************************* Paul A.
