I'd like to make the default fontsize scriptsize, and the default alignment left in the margin notes...
I've tried: \renewcommand{\marginpar}[1]{\marginpar{{\fontsize scriptsize #1}} and a few others but they don't seem to work. I even tried editing my ~/.lyx/ui/default.ui to contain: Item "Marginal Note|M" "command-sequence marginalnote-insert ; font-size scriptsize" to no avail... Has anyone faced this problem before?? - Pierre Dumuid *** Sorry for the double message, I forgot to state in the subject that I was concerned with the margin notes... *** Herbert, your solution, didn't seem to work. When I export to latex, I get the message: .. Runaway argument? {\myMargin {{\raggedright \scriptsize ##1}} \usepackage {babel} \makeatother \E TC. ! File ended while scanning use of \@argdef. <inserted text> \par ...
