a5paper for tufte book class

[Kulkarni Shantanu]

Hi,
Tufte book class docs say a5paper is not supported and one has to use the
geometry package. But geometry is already loaded by lyx. How do I pass
options to it later? I did \geometry{a5paper} but that made the
formatting extremly bad (I had already written 20 pages in Tufte default
mode).
If I give "a5paper" in Documents->Settings->Document Class->Option,
does it trickle down to the geometry package?
The Documents->Settings->Page Layout->Paper Format is also greyed out
with A4.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, it is my understanding that the options put there will trickle down
to the loaded packages. It depends on each package whether they
recognize the option or not. Definitely worth a try.

You might also consider producing a pdf in a4 and using an external tool
to convert a4->a5.
