>From the users' perspective, this is what happens: 1. an article with Document->Page layout set to "US Letter" (and Document->Page Margins is set to "default") is likely to come out of pdflatex as A4 (unless, unlike me, you know enough LaTeX configuration stuff to configure pdflatex to do something different). 2. However, if you set non-default margins, then the geometry package gets called, and pdflatex will create a "US letter" physical page. To me, this is a bug or deficiency in LyX: if the user selects "US Letter" on the page layout selection, LyX should create LaTeX code that does what the user almost certainly wants: have logical *and* physical pages set to US Letter. If there is a real need to allow the user to control both logical page size and physical page size separately, then maybe a new checkbox could be added to the "paper size" section of the Page Layout widget. ...dave case
