Thanks Xavier, Indeed it *is* working directly from lyx with the "\recomputelengths" command.
I just did not realize my outer margin was set at 0.25! Everything is looking fine now. Thanks so much for your help. I'll send you a diff for the brown colour in another email. Thanks to Richard for helping me with this also. B. Xavier Danaux wrote: > Hi Ben, > > > Your file compiles perfectly fine on my computer!
