Hi, I'm busy writing my PhD thesis (who isn't?). Naturally, the final version will not be printed on a standard size paper (custom size 163 mm X 239 mm). Now, of course, I'll be happy to print the draft on A4, but I prefer the formatting to be on a the final paper size. A lot of empty white space, for sure.
So far so good. I can view the draft on screen in either dvi or pdf (I use postscript pictures so I can't use pdflatex). The problem is that my custom formatting does not work all the way to the pdf-file. It is still A4, and look quit silly. The paper size format information seem to be scattered all over the data base: preamble, LyX Layout->document, LyX preferences, hyperref.cfg, and what not. It is a mess. Where is the proper place for such information? -- Martin Lantz
