Re: geometry package not working...

Hem, :-( I didn't check my preambule...

I had letterpaper as an option for package hyperref, so invoking legal size in the 
paper size box was a bad mixture!

LyX was'nt wrong!

  Works in fix3 if there's a space between the digit and the unit (e.g.,
"1.5 in").

Thank you very much. It was the units that I was missing. Works
beautifully. =)

Well, that's not very explicit for someone who dont know latex, but you
have to put a unit with your number.
If you put:
Top: 2
This wont work
But it will work with:
Top: 2mm
Top: 2cm
Top: 2em

Etc... (I guess any valid TeX unit can be used).
Dont put any space between the number and the unit (it wont work, I think
from my TeX experience).

I dont think that you need to activate the 'geometry' package to have this
working.

Hope it helps

PS: A long time ago, I read that this part of the interface was about to
be rewritten with an explicit pop-up menue for units... Did I dreamed ?
