If you hover over the check box for using default margins, the tool tip gives it away. You're welcome, Paul

Here's my version (edited LyX file and exported PDF). Notable changes I made: * I changed the graphic path to a relative path to the enclosed PDF image. (Your MWE included the image but the graphic path was an absolute path on your system.) * I changed the top right y value. You can go a bit smaller than what I put in, but not much. Note that this screws up the preview in the LyX window, but as you can see the image looks okay in the PDF output. * There was still more whitespace above the logo than seemed reasonable to me, which is likely some KOMA setting. I don't use KOMA, so I cheated and stuck in some negative vertical space above the image. Feel free to adjust or omit. * This gets the image, title and date on the same page, but the content still starts on page 2. Again, that's probably a KOMA thing. Paul, It's an issue with lyx-2.3.3 on the Ryzen7 desktop. See the PDF in the attached tarball. (I recompiled and reinstalled the application but it made no difference.) Looking at the .lyx file I saw the page size in the preamble still at 6.5" width x 9.5" height despite the setting having the US Letter box checked and the other values greyed out. I removed those values and the lyx file preamble now shows paperletter for the size. I also removed the custom margins (despite the 'use default' checkbox being checked) and now I don't see specific margins in the .lyx file The compiled PDF has the letterhead, title, author, date, and introduction all on page 1. But, the text width and height are those of a 6" x 9" book layout, not letter size layout. I'm not seeing the reason why.

Deleted the PDF image and re-loaded it. Exited LyX, then restarted it. Now the letterhead, title, etc. are on the same page, but still using the custom layout of 6" x 9" rather than 8.5" x 11". I'm not seeing any other differences. Will keep looking. Rich

Commonly, when I put the company letterhead (titlehead environment) above the report title and set the size at 100% of text width the letterhead is immediately followed by the title, date, and beginning of the document body text. This current report does not follow this pattern. When I preview the attached mwe.lyx the letterhead is on page 1, the title and data on page 2, and the introduction on page 3. I need to learn why this happens and how to both fix it here and prevent recurrence in future reports. Need more information? Ask and you shall be given answers. TIA, Rich Rich, I think your titlehead PDF gizmo has too much whitespace baked into it. I tinkered with the bounding box settings in the graphics inset, changing the right-top y value to 75 (originally 157). The PDF looked okay to me. In fact, I tried 55 and the PDF still looked good. So I'd suggest seasoning that to taste. Paul

I must have missed what you found. Experimenting with the size (especially hight) of the letterhead, too. I shortened the width (removing the white space on the left edge) and the image would not display at all. Will try the height. I changed coordinates for the image and tried various heights (leaving the width set to 100% text width). The only results were either a vertically compressed image or a slightly compress image with the title, author name, and date on that page; body text started on the next page. (This would be acceptable but I need the letterhead full height even with coordinates trimmed to eliminate white space.) Regards, Rich
