However, the margins don't change when I produce a pdf preview of the document. The header and
page number will appear at the page top as usual from second page. Let's change the document base
font size from the default 10 pt to 12 pt. Here is another reason why TeX documents have a default
two inch margin for printed pages. If adding this to a LyX document causes problems, however, that
seems like the LyX people need to hear about it: there is absolutely nothing particularly strange about
any of these packages (from a LaTeX point of view) unless you are using a form of TeX (the engine)
which does not have the e-TeX extensions enabled (which e toolbox requires). You can define a title
for the document, one for the running header and one for the toc. The only problem I can imagine
would come from your real margins, which I don't know. Changing the default font family to Roman
(or Default) should fix this. All of my first author papers, as well as my bachelor, master and PhD
thesis are written entirely in LyX. For starters, we need to replace the \maketitle command embedded
here to the actual title of the document. Browse other questions tagged table-of-contents lyx

store LyX documents in a separate (preferable empty) directory to keep your work organized in your
user space on your PCLinuxOS installation. The next button is used to insert an index entry so when
the document is built, there will be a index page typeset within the document. The header and page
number will appear at the page top as usual from second page. Besides it is hardly possible to create
a LyX document that does not compile (without evil red text), so you are less likely to be interrupted
by trivial errors. I would like instead to move the text body towards the outer margin (over the
current margin notes). The page size is A4, and all margins (top, bottom, left, right) should be at least
15 mm (not including any footers or headers). This is normally used for documents that are going to
be published in PDF or HTML format. Ensure that the font chosen is clearly readable (e.g. Arial or
Times New Roman). It is really a good idea to actually read the documentation that comes with LyX,
especially the Introduction, which should already be on screen when you launched LyX for the first
time. The instance of Abstract just below the author's name should be kept as is as this is the header
we use to tell the reader that the following is an abstract of what the document is about. Browse

easy to start over without erasing everything. Note that the date is added automatically - you don't
have to do anything. LyX takes a WYSIWYM (that is What You See is What You Mean) approach
to typesetting. The header and page number will appear at the page top as usual from second page.
Remember that TeX treats one whitespace element (such as a blank space or a return carriage
character) the same as a thousand whitespace elements. At least it only requires one declaration in the
preamble, I appreciate you pointing that out. For that reason I use the short title option (in Lyx). I
have never used LyX and I do not have it installed. However, if you want to use one of the
templates included with LyX, then hold down both Control and Shift, and then press N. I have
updated my question which includes screenshots for the outcome by following your suggestion. LyX
is a text editor that generates LaTeX code for you. You edit a visual representation of the semantics
of a LaTeX document (see Figure 1 ). For fonts, you can choose between Roman, Sans Serif, or
Typewriter (for monospace text), or you can reset the font in the text to plain (i.e. default font) text.

translating PostScript to PDF, resulting in a better quality PDF document. To sum it up: We need a
compilable example to play with. But you said multiline; that's entirely different. You can define a
