This has probably been asked before, however, does anyone have a good method to reduce the size of the slides and output them say 4 to an A4 page (various versions of dvips can output in landscape mode). Ideally one would want smaller versions of the fonts rather than postscript scaled versions of SliTeX fonts. Thanks in advance. isaac@goanna.oz.au PS. I guess a postscript font version of SliTeX coupled with a program like mpage (although mpage doesn't seem to work with our (Rokicki's great) dvips produced postscript. FYI, mpage outputs multiple pages of ascii or postscript to an A4 page and was posted to comp.sources.unix (or misc, I can't remember which). Has anyone postscriptfontised SliTeX?

Here's what I use. For the handouts my .tex file has \setlength{\partopsep}{2pt plus 10pt minus 1pt} \setlength{\parindent}{0pt} \newcounter{fig} \newcommand{\mkslide}[1]{% \addtocounter{fig}{1} \pagebreak[3] \input{#1} \begin{center} \fbox{\em Slide {\thefig}} \\ \rule{\textwidth}{1pt} \end{center} \pagebreak[3] } and for each slide I do \mkslide{who} where who.tex is a file to suck in. For the slides the macro for \mkslide is simply. \newcommand{\mkslide}[1]{ \begin{slide}{} \input{#1} \end{slide} } So I have two files, paper.tex and slides.tex where paper.tex uses the first version of \mkslide, and slides.tex the second version. Both input the file slide_files.tex which has a \mkslide for each slide (one file for each slide) but paper.tex uses \input{slide_files} while slides.tex uses \blackandwhite{slide_files}. Also, paper.tex uses \documentstyle{article} and slides.tex uses \documentstyle{slides}. When you add, rearrange, delete, etc. slides you only need to fiddle with slide_files.tex, not paper.tex or slides.tex.
