I had something the same happen when I upgraded to 1.6.1, but I can't remember exactly what the problem was. Some things to check: Under Document>Settings>Document Class make sure you have "display=slidesnotes" (or something similar) in the Class Options Under Document>Settings>Page Layout select Landscape Under Document>Settings>Page Format select Letter (Default or A4 will give portrait PDF file, even if you select Landscape: Default changes the aspect ratio to fit Portrait, and A4 trims the right side to fit Portrait). The last one is probably your problem. -- Les ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.
