Thank you Giovanni.

I have tried your idea : Document -> Font -> Advanced

but there is no « Advanced » in my ''Document -> Font’’ menu.

So, i am still looking for a solution to reduce the number of pages.

The idea of Joris (magnification) sounds great for me. I imagine that a 98% 
reduction of the font size would make the job.

Does anyone know how to apply a 0.98 magnification of the font ?

Thank you for your attention,

Best regards,
Richard
