Maybe my own logic wasn't as logical as I thought. I justed looked at the Chicago Manual of Style; they say block quotations may be "indented or set in a smaller type or a different font... and may have less space between the lines." So, "put that in your pipe and smoke it, Kevin." :-) > On a more general level, allow me a newcomer's observation that > Latex/Lyx conventions are not necessarily ideal.

This may vary, depending on the document class you are using (most of which were originally written for LaTeX and not LyX, I think), but your point is taken. One can, of course change this default behavior. > Anyway, I can't imagine that asking to set quotes in the same point > size as footnotes offends any fundamental principle of Lyx. No, of course not. -Kevin -- Kevin Pfeiffer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Tiros-Translations
