Re: How do i change page sizes in the document ? :: Any otherideas????
Hi Martina! > TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [main memory size 263001] Do you use floats? If TeX finds no place to ;-) place a float it is stored until memory is full. There is a command to force the placing of floats. AFAIR \clearpage or \doubleclearpage Ciao! juh -- http://hasecke.com/ BUSINESS KOMMUNIKATION Jan Ulrich Hasecke * Ihr F r e e l a n c e r Text * Konzeption * Werbung * PR * Internet Telefon: 0212-2331483 / Telefax: 0212-2331483

Thanks Herbert,
it really works well. But only for my smallest files, then LaTeX runs
into some magic memory threshold, wherefore I can´t use this solution.
Do you know how to solve that ?:

You can choose the combination of geometry-package, minipage and
multicols. Here an example
\geometry{left=1cm,right=1cm,a4paper}
\begin{minipage}[t]{19cm}
\begin{multicols}{2}
bla bla bla
\end{multicols}
\end{minipage}
for an a4-paper the minipage can be up to 19cm, in fact of
the 1cm margin left and right. I tried this solution and it
works well .. ;-)

Martina asks about a change INSIDE a document, Layout->Paper
provides general settings.
I can't check right now, but AFAIR, you can't SET the
paper size parameters after a \begin{document} (i.e. inside
the LyX window).
You may however CHANGE the settings with \addtolength
(relative changes). You may check in any LaTeX docbook
how does the scope of the command work (probably from the current page).
>From one of my latex docs:
\addtolength{\evensidemargin}{-0.5cm}
Never tried the geometry package inside the document,
but it may work as well.

Thanks for your hint, Herbert. I can set page geometry quite well with
that package. But the
results are the same as if i do it by hand: The multicol enironment
remains totally unaware of the extra space that it has, and the fancy
header behaves strange too.
So, does anyone have a concrete solution to changing page geometry
within the document in combination with the use of the multicol
environment ?

Re: How do i change page sizes in the document ?
Select Layout->Paper and fill-in the fields. LyX will use the geometry package to set them. Casantos On Thu, 25 Nov 1999, Martina Schwarz van Doorn wrote: > Dear LyXers, > > can anyone tell me how change page sizes in a document ?

have you tried the geometry package?
\geometry{left=1cm}
as an example.

How do i change page sizes in the document ?
Dear LyXers,
can anyone tell me how change page sizes in a document ? In the main
part of my thesis, i want to use a wide margin because it is more
legible, but in the appendices, where i want to include my code in two
columns, i want to have small margins in order to save space.
I tried something like:
\setlength{\textwidth}{140mm}
\setlength{\headwidth}{\textwidth}
\textheight=214mm
\oddsidemargin=8mm
\evensidemargin=8mm
\topmargin=2mm
\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{1.3}
in the preamble (which seams to work allright), and then after \appendix
tried
\setlength{\textwidth}{180mm}
\setlength{\headwidth}{\textwidth}
\textheight=214mm
\oddsidemargin=0mm
\evensidemargin=0mm
\topmargin=2mm
\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{1}
\begin{multicols}{2}
\verbatiminput{main.f}
\end{multicols}
in TeX-mode, but this only messes up my headers and keeps the code as
messed up as without it.
Thanks
Martina
