Page margins
Hi
I've been noticed some odd behaviour when the page margins are changed
from the class defaults. This has caused me some annoyance with marginal
notes.
Attached is MWE1.lyx which is a simple document using the class default
margins and with the showframe package and its output is MWE1.pdf.
MWE2.lyx is identical except that the top margin has been changed. Lyx
has inserted
\usepackage[a4paper]{geometry}
\geometry{verbose,tmargin=5cm}
in the preamble.
The output MWE2,pdf is not what I had expected as the side margins have
changed and the marginal note area is now much nearer the edge. Indeed
if say the outer margin is changed in Document Settings then the
marginal area can almost disappear altogether.
I solved this to some extent as in MWE3.lyx where I stopped Lyx
inserting the geometry pack by setting local layout, and then put
\usepackage[a4paper,includemp]{geometry}
\geometry{verbose,tmargin=5cm}
in the preamble. I.e. the same as Lyx did but with an extra option.
The output MWE3.pdf is better but still not just a change to the header
margin.
The includemp could have been includeall with a slight difference to the
output.
So, should Lyx automatically include this option in the usepackage call
or is there a much neater way to do what I want, i.e. change the header
margin without changing anything else.
Sorry for the length. Couldn't think of a shorter way to describe this.
Cheers

Setting page margins..
Dear LyX users, I have a problem with the definition of the page margins in a LyX document.. In particular, I would like to create a book-style document, where the internal margin is always a bit bigger the the external one so that once I print and bind it, the document will be easily readable. Any clues about how to do it? Thanks in advance!

In particular, I would like to create a book-style document, where the internal margin is always a bit bigger the the external one so that once I print and bind it, the document will be easily readable. Choose Document - Settings. Choose Page Margins (in left list). Uncheck Default Margins. Set any as desired. Click Ok or Apply. (Maybe the defaults are good enough already.)
Re: Setting page margins..
After many trials with Lyx, a friend and I decided to do it directly
in LaTeX in the preamble:
%
\usepackage{anysize}
% Controla los márgenes {izquierda}{derecha}{arriba}{abajo}.
\marginsize{4.5cm}{3cm}{3cm}{3cm}
I don't have any idea as why Lyx is not precise when margins are
changed. Printed region in an even page should be overlapped with that
of an odd page. We had to do it with the code above. Maybe somebody
has a technical answer on this problem. Until then, you can use this
snippet of code.
best regards.

Choose Document -> Settings. Choose "Page Margins" (in left list). Uncheck "Default Margins". Set any as desired. Click Ok or Apply. (Maybe the defaults are good enough already.)
Re: Setting page margins..
After many trials with Lyx, a friend and I decided to do it directly
in LaTeX in the preamble:
%
\usepackage{anysize}
% Controla los márgenes {izquierda}{derecha}{arriba}{abajo}.
\marginsize{4.5cm}{3cm}{3cm}{3cm}
I don't have any idea as why Lyx is not precise when margins are
changed. Printed region in an even page should be overlapped with that
of an odd page. We had to do it with the code above. Maybe somebody
has a technical answer on this problem. Until then, you can use this
snippet of code.
best regards.

It's the opposite: the inner margins of a book is always smaller than the outer ones. I recommend to use the KOMA-script book document class. Then use the document class option "BCOR" to specify the binding correction your need for your book. The other margins will be calculated automatically depending the on the font and the font size of your document. Therefore use the default margins. This method is also used for the LyX user's guide, so have a look at its document settings as example. regards Uwe

For something bound more restrictively, like staple binding, you need a much bigger inner margin so you can see the beginnings of lines on odd number pages and ends of lines on even number pages. You can set the margins with the Book document class also, and probably all of them. From within LyX, Document->Settings->Page_Margins, then uncheck the Default box and put the desired stuff in Inner and Outer.

Different page margins in one document
Hi everybody,
I would like to have different page margins in the table section of my
document that in the rest of the documtent.
I added this before the Table section in ERT
\setlength{\evensidemargin}{-1cm}
\setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-1cm}
\addtolength{\textwidth}{2cm}
Unfortunately only everything else but the caption width adjusts. Any
suggestions to make the caption to adjust, too? Thanks in advance

They are spiral bound and I used top,bottom: 2.5cm inner: 2.5cm outer: 2.0cm I found this to be very satisfactory, but then I didn't purchase a distribution package. I prepared both using pdflatex, and the printed results were good. However, I think the postscript suggestion is good and is what I would do next time. The Lulu forums are full of problems with pdf files, and submitting in postscript avoids all problems.

Lulu page margins confusion
I know margins were discussed here a while back but I am now more confused than before. I have bought a distribution package from Lulu for my book. The requirements for margins are strict. Top and bottom margins must be the same and so must side margins though there can be a gutter. As far as I can see this would mean something like this: Top = 0.75 in Bottom = 0.75 in Outer = 0.75 in Inner = 1.0 in Does this seem sensible? Has anyone else prepared a book for Lulu in this way? I'm not sure the above is right, because then, in the bound book, the inner margin would appear the same as the outer margin, whereas in most books I look at it is smaller. So should inner = 0.75 in as well?

Re: page margins
Define a \newpagestyle that sets the margins and such as you want them
for that page. Then, at the beginning of that page:
\thispagestyle{whatever}. See
http://www.iam.ubc.ca/~newbury/tex/page-set-up.html for information on
margin setup. It's possible you can also use the geometry package to do
that.

page margins
I am using koma-script book class. When I set the page margins, such as top and bottom 1 inch, I get margins longer than that. The page style is chosen as plain. How can I get that accomplished? The margins I get from the side of the paper to the text is around 1.8 inches... Is there a way around this?
