Re: Won't let me change paper margins
You need to add a unit to the value. For example 1in or 25mm or whatever. Also check Use Geometry Package. On Fri, 4 May 2001, Robert Baruch wrote: - Please help...

Re: Won't let me change paper margins
You have to put units in there--an easy thing to miss, even if you are a tried and true LyXer :-) So, for example, put 1in. On Thu, 03 May 2001, you wrote: > Please help...

Won't let me change paper margins
Please help... I'm a new user of LyX and I've been banging my head against this problem, I'm about to cry :_( I'm using version 1.1.6fix1. I created a new document (File > New) and then I typed some text in and printed the document. I found that the left margin was about 2.25 inches, and I really want it to be 1 inch. So I went into Layout > Document > Paper, but whenever I type anything into the margin entry boxes, the OK and Apply buttons get grayed out, as if what I'm doing isn't valid. So how do I change the margins on my document? Thanks, --Rob
