Does long paper really require a change of doctype? I think you can do what you need by putting the following two lines in your Docuument=>settings=>Latex_preamble: ================================================ \pageheight=14in %Paper height \pagewidth=8.5in %Paper width ================================================ The preceding works as long as you compile with luatex, which is the best way to compile anyway. I don't know about the AMS document type, but my best guess would be it would accommodate the preceding. Naturally you'd need to change all the margins in LyX, but that's easy. >I have made heavy use of the paragraph/subparagraph environments, but >these do not exist(!) in the new doctype.

Many thanks If worst comes to worst, you could create a new document type, based on whatever new document type you are moving to, in a layout file, and just create new paragraph/subparagraphs environments.
