Hi,
Unfortunately I think I need your help again.
I use the \usepackage[8pt]{extsizes} package with the article
(koma-script). Works quite nicely, except that ...
I would like to make the free space between the Section title and the
preceding and the following text much smaller.
I would also like to make the free space before and after a LongTable
much smaller.
Can I somehow say that the whole article should be compact ?
Could you, please, help me.
Thanks in advance,
Jacek.

Paragraph Layout/Vertical Spaces/Length and use some negative value such

but if you don't have but maybe one or two short enumerations, this won't

Hi,
Thanks for reply.

 do you have layout-document-fontsize-standard ?
 it seems not to work when you choose any value there.
Yes, I have already noticed it (you mean default here, right ?).

 i have no problems with the sizes for the headings,
 look at attached ps-file for the first page.
 using article-komaclass and \usepackage[8pt]{extsizes}
 and alternative \usepackage[20pt]{extsizes}
Your ps-files are copies of Intro.lyx. By default it's class is
article and not article (koma-script). I took the same test.
When I leave the Layout-Document Layout- Class - article I get proper
sizes. But, it is sufficient to change it into article (koma-script) and
try it with \usepackage[20pt]{extsizes} and you get improper (too small)
fonts for Section and Subsection.
Anyhow, I think that I can also see the problem in your ps-files. Just
compare the size of the word Contents in the table-of-contents (it's
size remains unchanged, regardless whether you use 8pt or 20pt).

it's not a real roblem of lyx.
extsizes has to be load before the geometry package, because
it defines the margins new. but lyx does it vice versa.
therefore switch off the "use package geometry"-button and 
write in latex preamble 

\usepackage[8pt]{extsizes}
\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{verbose,a4paper,tmargin=0cm,bmargin=0cm,lmargin=0cm,rmargin=0cm}

Re: article (koma-script) with smallest font size

2001-04-20 Thread Jacek M. Holeczek

Hi,
 (...)
 extsizes has to be load before the geometry package, because
 it defines the margins new. but lyx does it vice versa.
 therefore switch off the "use package geometry"-button and 
 write in latex preamble 
 
 \usepackage[8pt]{extsizes}
 \usepackage{geometry}
 \geometry{verbose,a4paper,tmargin=0cm,bmargin=0cm,lmargin=0cm,rmargin=0cm}
 
 for the margins write what you need.
 (...)
Many, many thanks.
Could you also, please, add this information into your nice :
http://www.educat.hu-berlin.de/~voss/lyx/extsizes.html
Best regards,
Jacek.

done!
but you don't have this problem when you choose the
_class_ extarticle and not the style-package.

Re: article (koma-script) with smallest font size

2001-04-20 Thread Jacek M. Holeczek

Hi,
Many thanks to all who replied pointing me to the "extsizes" package.
Using it's 8pt fontsize almost solved my problem (I installed the
"extsizes" from CTAN and then added the "\usepackage[8pt]{extsizes}"
to the document's "Layout -> LaTeX Preamble" - koma-script documents
need nothing more).
Well, why almost ... ?
I get the correct font size, but ... somehow margins are extremely wide.
I use A4 paper and I'd like to have around 1.5cm margins, but I get ...
the left and the right margins are about about 4.5cm, the top margin is 
about 5cm, the bottom margin is about 2.5cm.
I tried to change "Layout -> Paper Layout -> Papersize -> A4" and then
"Layout -> Paper Layout -> Margins -> [Top, Bottom, Left, Right] ->10mm",
but there is no visible effect (I still get these "wide" margins").
Could you, please, help me,
Thanks in advance,
Jacek.

do you have layout->document->page->use package geometry button on?

Yes I do.
As soon as you try to modify the "Margins" LyX automatically switches
"geometry package" on.

can you send a short lyx example-file which shows this behaviour?

> can you send a short lyx example-file which shows this behaviour?
1. copy the /usr/share/lyx/doc/Intro.lyx into your private
   subdirectory
2. edit it : "lyx Intro.lyx"
3. "Layout -> Document Layout -> Class -> article (koma-script)"
4. "Layout -> Paper Layout -> Margins -> [Top ... Right] -> 0mm"
5. "File -> View dvi"
You should see the first page of the "Intro" without any margins (0mm).
Then add :
6. "Layout -> LaTeX Preamble -> \usepackage[8pt]{extsizes}"
7. "File -> View dvi"
And you see the first page of the "Intro" with wide margins.
If it matters - I use LyX Version 1.1.5fix2 on a RH6.1/i386 machine.
Jacek.
P.S. As soon as the 1.1.6fix2 is there I intend to switch to it. Jacek.

it's not a real roblem of lyx.
extsizes has to be load before the geometry package, because
it defines the margins new. but lyx does it vice versa.
therefore switch off the "use package geometry"-button and 
write in latex preamble 

\usepackage[8pt]{extsizes}
\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{verbose,a4paper,tmargin=0cm,bmargin=0cm,lmargin=0cm,rmargin=0cm}

for the margins write what you need.

 Hi,
 I need to write a small article which default font size will be the

 with the "default" font).
 I can set the "smallest" font size for a group of characters using
 "Layout - Character Style - Size - Smallest", but I cannot do the same
 for the WHOLE article. The problem is that the corresponding menu looks
 like : "Layout - Document Layout - Font Size - [default|10|11|12]".
 If I "mark" the whole text and set the "Character" font to smallest it
 produces a lot of erratic behavior.
 Could you please help me,

have a look at
