They allow you to view on your computer the slides + notes, while the students view only the slides.

Scott, Yes, pdfpc is installed here, but my presentation is not a class I'm teaching (escaped academia a very long time ago), but a trade association conference. My presentation is one of three in a single-subject session and the laptop is not under my control.

Anyway, I created a 6-page set from the 23 slides in the presentation. I created a new document using the KOMA-Script scrartcl class with plain pagestyle and base font size 12 pts, imported the talk's text file, and set each slide number/title as a section*. It's good enough for the purpose. Regards, Rich -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org https://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users

But there are a lot of common tasks and I only know the ones that I do :) Best, Scott signature.asc Description: PGP signature -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org https://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users

font size in math eqnarray environment
I'm using LyX 2.4.2.1 in MacOS with Beamer to create a set of slides. In one of the slides I have a set of equations in an eqnarray, but it's too wide so in the pdf it goes all the way to the right side of the page (i.e. there is no margin on that side). How can I reduce the font size of that specific portion of the text? -- lyx-users mailing list lyx-users@lists.lyx.org https://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-users
