However, I recently found out that the nopsheader option must now be omitted for the document to compile properly. (See also: http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg71492.html). I see what you mean and now removed this option in the powerdot LyX example file. This needs to be described in the powerdot manual. Also note that contrary to the manual, once the powerdot class is selected in LyX, the option to select paper size and orientation is no longer available. This is by design because powerdot uses its own option names for this instead of the LaTeX default ones. You need to add the paper orientation as option to the document class in LyX to change the orientation and the paper size. Can you therefore please inform the authors of powerdot to update their manual and CC me? regards Uwe
Re: powerdot class options
I don't know if there's a bug in Powerdot. I've not used Powerdot in quite some time, and I recently found out that older presentations did not compile as expected. I've always followed the manual which said: 10.3 Compiling with LYX First of all, make sure that you have also read section 8. Then, in order to get a proper PostScript or PDF file, you have to set your LYX document properties depending on which paper and orientation you want. When your LYX document is open, go to the Layout - Document dialog. In the Layout pane, put the nopsheader, orient and paper keys as class options (see section 2.1 for a description). Then, go to the Paper pane and select corresponding paper size and orientation (you may choose letter paper in the case you set paper=screen in the class options). Finally, go to the View (or File = Export)menu and select your output (PostScript or PDF). However, I recently found out that the nopsheader option must now be omitted for the document to compile properly. (See also: http://www.mail-archive.com/lyx-users@lists.lyx.org/msg71492.html). Also note that contrary to the manual, once the powerdot class is selected in LyX, the option to select paper size and orientation is no longer available. If I am correct then the manual must be corrected, but perhaps a wiki entry is also appropriate.

powerdot class options
Contrary to the powerdot.pdf, it is not currently possible to produce .pdf output in landscape mode with the "nopsheader" class option. Is it possible to update the wiki or post this somewhere accessible?
