Thank you for your response, I had plenty of time the last days that's because my response is a little late. Yes it seems to be a problem with foiltex. Sometimes when I change the page format from landscape to portrait, the printer produces rubbish. I tried out seminar.sty but now I got a similar problem: I have some foils in landscape format and some in portrait format. I nested the enveroments with lyx in the correct way but when I try to view them with kdvi or ggv the slide margins are absoluty incorrect and when I try to print it, all slides are printed in landscape even I set up kdvi to print the slide in portrait mode. Is it not possible to change that? Let's say: First slide = landscape,second slide=portrait, etc? (And got a correct print result of course?) Regards Thorsten

Thorsten, I had a similar problem with foiltex and viewing in gv. The problem was intermittent. I haven't used foiltex for about 6 months, but every so often, a landscape page or pages would have no left side margin. I never was able to resolve the problem. I was able to go into the postscript code and manually fix it (which is a pain).

I haven't used foiltex with 1.2.1 but it appears from what you are saying there is still a problem. Rick B.

The page margins are not correct when I print the slides with acroread. (Left= 4cm, right=.5 cm and I want to have Left=2cm, right=2cm). When I try to print it with lyx all the slides are printed in portrait mode not in landscape mode. My document settings are: foiltex, landscape and my printer driver is dvips. I read the manual but did not found something specific for my problem. Where or how can I adjust pdflatex so that I can print with the correct margins and how can I set up lyx to print in landcape mode? Thank you! Thorsten
