I thank you for bringing the beamer(article) to my attention. That is very handy for me as well. I can see that if I insert some branches, then I can really customize which material is included in the article output. Nice! To answer your margin question, I wonder how you changed the margins? In all of the beamer examples I find, the margin options are grayed out and I can't change them. That means we need to make the change either in the preamble or in the lyx layout or latex style file. Blech. I started to think "there has to be a better way" and this way seems to do it. \oddsidemargin 0.0in \textwidth 6.0in %%testing: does following have any effect? %%\evensidemargin 0.0in In the example beamer file with the lyx distribution, this does work for me to make the margins smaller. I got the idea from this document: http://www.image.ufl.edu/help/latex/margins.shtml In case you want to set more parameters. This works in LyX because lyx invokes the geometry package early in the startup, so if you put these in your preamble, it all ends up good. HTH! pj -- Paul E.
