I'd like to do the following in TeX: left_text1 .......... [hbox] ................ right_text1 other_left_text ..... [hbox] ................ right_text2 What I want is for the hbox in the middle to be centered between the right and left margins. Left text of various lengths to be flush left with the left margin, right text of several lengths to be flush right with the right margin, and leaders linking the text and the hbox. Any ideas? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Joseph Wang (joe@athena.mit.edu) Wake Up! Wake Up! 450 Memorial Drive C-111 All who wish not to be slaves.
