Wow!
I just checked the document and it was 17.78 cm height and 22.86 cm
wide. Not the other way round.
But you reckon it was 22.86 cm hight and 17.78 wide which would be
portrait? That's weird.
Maybe others might quickly look at that document and inform me that
they see what you see as well. That would mean my system LyX is really
wrong and it may have to be purged and reinstalled?
I did specify landscape, but I suppose you saw that when you looked in
the Document->settings->Page format->orientation
Well there you go. I wouldn't use adobe acrobat reader fortunately. But
I might test it with that on a friends machine.
Thanks for your input.
Stay well,
Charlie
