I am working on a document using the me macros and I want to change the point size for the entire document from the default of 10 to 12. I have tried (among other things) '.ps 12' and '.sz 12' at the top of my file with no luck. The only way those insertions seem to work is to place them in each paragraph separately. The only way I have been able to change the point size for the entire document was to make my own copy of the macro package and change the defaults for the .tp and .pp registers. Is there a better way? (besides using another macro package ;-)...

I have tried (among other things) '.ps 12' and I had to do this with my USENET Manual Set and came up with the following: .nr pp 8 .nr sp 8 .nr tp 8 to set it to 8 point. I added these lines after the .so for the me macros. -- Conor P. Cahill (703)430-9247 Virtual Technologies, Inc., uunet!virtech!cpcahil 46030 Manekin Plaza, Suite 160 Sterling, VA 22170

That's true, .sz does a temporary size change, respectively every call to .pp or similar macros resets the point size. >The only way I have been able to change the point size for the entire >document was to make my own copy of the macro package and change the >defaults for the .tp and .pp registers. Is there a better way? There is. The number register pp defines the pointsize used throughout the entire document; the macros pp, lp and the like set the pointsize to the value of that number register. So the first thing you put in Your paper is '.nr pp 12' and everything should work fine. -Toni Anton Hartl | hartl@lan.informatik.tu-muenchen.dbp.de, ...!unido!tumult!hartl Only those who attempt the absurd will achieve the impossible. -Escher
