[Tex/LaTex] Lyx – change margins for one page or one paragraph

Question

Is it possible in LYX to change the margins for one page or one paragraph only ? I am trying to insert logos that need to be closer to the sides of page.
Thanks !

Answer 1

This may or may not be suitable for your specific case. If it misses the mark, please describe in more detail what you want to achieve.

1. Document --> Settings --> LaTeX Preamble, add

   \usepackage{changepage}
   

2. Where you want the narrower margins to start, add an ERT with Ctrl + L, and write

   \begin{adjustwidth*}{-2cm}{-2cm}
   

   in it. The first length extends the inside margin, the second extends the outside margin. If you use the unstarred version, i.e. \begin{adjustwidth}{-2cm}{-2cm}, they are the left and right margins, respectively.

3. Step outside the ERT, add the logos, and whatever else should be there. In the screenshot below, I added the first image, then Insert --> Formatting --> Horizontal space --> Horizontal fill, then the second image.

4. Close the environment with a new ERT, containing

   \end{adjustwidth*}
