Document flows off end of page!
Interesting ... note that this is not a lyx problem: if you export to latex and run it through tex, you get the same thing. My guess is that you've given the compiler too few degrees of freedom, with a whole bunch of empty sections and subsections. Still, I'm a bit surprised that it happens. The good news is that it goes away as soon as you actually provide some text for your material. I added just 1 line this is some text to each of the divisions, and the page break was where it should be. Philip A.

Re: Document flows off end of page!
Hi, a classic :) (which basically means to me that I stubled about this myself sometime ago as well ;) ) Short answer: Don't write pages full of headings without some content between them. Your problem will disappear as soon as you put some text between the headings. Long answer (hopefully correct): Okay, the problem is that you put a lot of section headings in the file but no text between it. Now latex refuses to insert a pagebreak between headings because when writing real texts (e.g. texts with some kind of content ;) it will look ugly 99% of the time: dummy text sometext sometext sd jcsdkjs fsdjöfkjskdf lksjdfl kjsdlfk jöfdjk ölkdjsfv ölkjldfvkjl kdfjv kdfjv some 1.2 subsection (*) 1.2.1 subsubsection further rexr hjbdkj h sadkjhg akjhkjfhgds jfhkg akjdfvgkajdsgfv kg iuatszd ckjhbad skgcv k jhdggd jhdfk jhgdf skjhgajfdskhg afdsjhg kjsdhfg kjadfs kjdsh /dummy text At (*) a pagebreak wouldn't look nice, so latex prevents this. It's nevertheless completely okay to start writing a text exactly as you did it, you just shouldn't expect latex typesetting it sensible.
