At a first look, the command you chose acts on selected text. Can you 
try again, selecting text first?

I have also seen an option to the same effect under 
Document->Font->Advanced; I haven't been able to make it work with 
values different from the one proposed by the form (the largest factor 
smaller than 1 is 0.9). On the other hand, Document->Magnification then 
choosing 0.98 seemed to work.

I am a bit curious. I am taking it for granted that you do not want to 
reduce the font point size tout-court (Lasers by A. Siegman seems to me 
written in font 10 and still pretty readable), but given this: a 
different strategy is also choosing a smaller font for just some 
sections or perhaps better subsections or other suitable parts (it may 
be hard to reduce the number of pages by 3% in this way though).

Hope this helps.
