My data is wide. Maybe 100 characters in a fixed field format.
it's lab data, which I use a python script to bring into a .lyx doc.
My script automatically formats with lyxcode and breaks up the data into
sections, then make a .pdf with TOC.
Since almost everyone has 8.5x11 printers, I use that size for the paper.
I have to make all the text footnote size with typewriter font to get
everything to align and look pleasing to the reader.
I'm going to try what you mentioned.
Thank you for the suggestion.

Phil,
I'm curious about the above.
Why is your document very wide?
Can you change the page layout to landscape (11 x 8.5)?
Many of my documents use a custom page size of 6 x 9.5 with default 10pt
body text fontsize. When printed on letter-size paper there are large
margins for ease of reading or writing notes. Perhaps changing your
default
page size and orientation will allow you to use a readable fontsize,
especially for eyeballs with more than 40 years wear on them.

Rich
