I am formatting a manuscript to specs provided by the publisher. They want me to provide a "true" camera-ready copy: sheets of papers, not pdf files. Here is what I discovered after a morning spent playing with the geometry.sty package and fancy headers:
1. Selecting headings style "fancy" in the Document settings dialog and setting page parameters in the preamble with the geometry package does not work. This is because lyx loads the package fancyhdr in the Lyx part of the preamble, i.e before the geometry package is loaded. Result: the fancyheaders package does not use margins set by the geometry package. solution: load fancy headers package manually in the user part of the preamble, after the geometry package 2. This one drove me crazy: it turns out that the Okular's default print settings work like Acrobat reader's "Fit to page" print settings. That is, Okular will happily and silently shrink/expand the margin by several mm when printing, therefore obliterating the parameters set up by the geometry package settings. Solution: print from Acrobat reader (with page scaling set to "none," of course). I don't know if there is a way to change Okular's behavior, or if it is one of those obscure Kde settings---I could not find anything to change behavior. Cheers, S. -- __________________________________________________ Stefano Franchi Department of Philosophy Ph: (1) 979 862-2211 Texas A&M University Fax: (1) 979 845-0458 College Station, Texas, USA
