Changing Document Margins
I am trying to change the margins of my document. When I go to Layout--Document--Paper I can see the options of where to change the margins, but I am unable to Apply (or OK) these changes. Am I missing something with this? Thanks for the help, Vern

Creating lyx templates
This might have a significant amount of cross-over between what is truly lyx vs what is required formatting in Latex. I am trying to produce a standard company template that will follow my company's general formatting rules, and have run into some of the following difficulties. I have scanned some of the documentation, but am at a loss where I might find some of these items. Any help is appreciated. Issues: o Using a non-standard font, that is available in MS Word. Need to use the fonts so that they match exactly? What abilities is provided in lyx/latex to import fonts from other platforms and to use these fonts to produce PDF/PS files? o Importing JPEG images into document. Also, using JPEG images in header or footer. o If anyone knows of any documentation doing a walk-through of setting up a latex template and using it in lyx... I have found examples of completed templates, however, my knowledge is still a bit weak to move from an example to a completed template. Thanks in advance, Vern

I get the same thing because tex is installed in /usr/loca instead of /usr and I used tcsh as a shell. The effect is that path settings set in the .login file don't have any effect in the GUI environment. Effectively, /us/local/bin doesn't appear in my path if I lauch LyX from a menu button (such as the ones in the GNOME panel). This would describe my situation as well. lyx et al is installed in /opt/latex/bin. The next question is what would I have do to change where lyx looks for the environment variables?
