That was useful. Problem solved. Thanks a lot

While I see that I can open this document in writelatex or any other latex editor and get rid of all the half spacings I want, this is an example file. I need to implement this in a much larger file which is set up in lyx, so if there is a way to do this directly from lyx it would be helpful ...

Thanks for you response. I agree that the preamble with all the commented lines is a bit confusing and I have fixed that now.

All I am trying to do is to have the footnotes appear in a smaller font size than the main text (as requested by an editor), and I wish to do so without manually changing the fontsize of all ( ~50 ) footnotes. Surely there has to be a way to do this I would ...

Thanks. I highlighted the entire text and clicked large because I want the main text to appear large. But doing this automatically makes the footnotes large as well. Is there a way to include something in my preamble to make sure that the command large does not apply to footnotes but only to the ...

Thanks. I am using the document class "article". A minimal example file is attached. Any help wo be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

I am trying to compile a document with footnotes. I would like to change the footnote font size. I have tried multiple ways of doing this by adding commands in the preamble but none of these work. Any help would be greatly appreicated
