I try to hand out lecture notes that are virtually identical to my slides. Lyx is working just fine for my slides, though I'm muddling with an idea to automatically create successor slides (if the page is overrun, clip right there and repeat the first line with "continued" or "2 of whatever" appended). But that's the minor issue. What I really need is a nice way to go back and forth between small type filling a letter class with huge outer margins (for them to take notes), and the slides. Perhaps rather than using article, create a companion class to slides, so that each class has all of the types of the other? slides-handout would simply ignore new-slide directives, perhaps breaking new-slide into new-slide and continuation-slide so that itemizations will flow cleanly? I actually lost data in the conversion. Err, it didn't get lost, but some just plain didn't print on the student version. (hmm, I was going to attach it, but now it works. But in the student handout, there were gaps instead of text at a couple of points). Anyway, I see the useful format for students as having 4 or 5 inches on the outer margin for notes, but with chapter titles spreading entirely across the top of the page. An alternative would be reducing the slides (with a2ps?) so that two print on the inner margin, one above the other, while the outer remains empty. rick, still muddling --
