LyX ⇒ Changing the margins

[Anne]

Hi
I would like to be able to make the margins smaller, is this possible. I find it very hard to fit equations etc on the page.
I have one more problem, when I make figures and tabels, they are not centeret. How do I do this?
Hope you can help me.

You can adjust the margins in the document settings dialogue: Document -> Settings -> (Page) Margins (I use the German version so I am not exactly sure about the correct translation).

As for tables and figures, you can mark them and change their alignment via the paragraph styles button:

Thank you very much. Im a bit embarressed that it was that easy.
Actually I have one more probably very stupid question. Is there a way to make the cells in a table higher. My problem is that I have fractions in the table, and they fill out the entire cell. It woul be nice if it was possible to change for the entire table in one go.
Anyway, thanks very much.

Hi Anne,

you can use the array package and \extrarowheight:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{array}
\setlength{\extrarowheight}{4pt}
