Thank you SO MUCH Daniel!  Your suggestion fixed the problem for me,
and it works beautifully now!

Many thanks again,

Ken,

the answer is obvious, don't use Windows :-)-O


But, I don't think it has anything to do with LyX but rather is a LaTeX
issue, and guessing of setting a default page size installation wide.

The LeX Live Manager app on the Mac has the option

    Configure --> Change Paper Size

which is the default for all documents if nothing else is specified, in
a document, which then overrides.

I have no clue what MikTeX Windows does and whether it allows override.
Could be set with admin privilege or some other issue.

What is the LyXBook class? Or if it refers to the layout, where did you
get it from?

I find Koma Script much better and easier that memoir and have switched
some years ago. That may be opinion, but try it out :-)-O

el

But you saw the other solution that worked, right?

Daniel
