Hi Uwe, I'm still trying to create a pdf that looks like the printout. Looking for the paper packages as you suggested: The old lyx file: \paperpackage a4wide
Opened the old file with Lyx 1.6.4 and saved again: \usepackage{a4} Removed the "\usepackage{a4}", opened and saved again: \papersize a4paper As you wrote and I also found in some Latex documentation, the a4 and a4wide packages should be replaced with "a4paper". So, now my document uses up to date packages but still has wrong margins :-( I read that there were even different a4wide-packages - with different margins. I found the margins of one a4wide-package here http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/a4wide/a4wide.pdf but 0 inch left/right margins is not the about 3 cm left/right margins my document has. Sorry, for the long text, but is there a list of margins for these a4wide packages? Trying out all the values is only the last option for me.
