I am a brand-new user of LyX, and I am trying to prepare a book for publication at CreateSpace. I am using version 1.5.6 with Windows Vista. I had no problems with the typesetting, the book looks great. However, I am having problems with the margins. CreateSpace requires a minimum 1/2" for top, bottom and outer margin; and 3/4" for inner, or gutter, margin. The inner and outer margins came out OK, but they keep telling me that the top and bottom margins are too narrow. I originally set the margins at .5" for top and bottom in Document Settings, CreateSpace said that was too narrow.
I thought perhaps the headers and footers were intruding into the margin, so I set them wider than required -- .75". I just got an e-mail today from support at CreateSpace, saying that the top and bottom margins were still too narrow. However, as a result of increasing the top and bottom margins, the length of my book increased by six pages. This is what I would have expected as a result of widening the margins. Can anyone tell me what the default settings are for the margins in Book Class? Also can anyone tell me what I may be doing wrong in setting my margins? Any help will be appreciated.
