[comp.text] Remove white space above title, LaT

gsg0384@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu (09/12/89)

Hi,
Is there any way to remove the white space above the title on the first page
of an article-styled LaTeX output?
If you compare the top of the title page with the rest of the article
pages, you will notice that there is about 1.2cm white space above
the title.  I want to save that space for the article text.  But
I could not find any method, even the kluge.
Can someone tell me the way?

Thanks.

one of the `penalties' of using LaTeX is that you follow a style, and
don't just hack it around to suit you _ad lib_; you should either
accept Lamport's design, or redo the whole style to suit your local
needs. Examining the style file for `article' (if that's what you are
using) and `art??' will reveal the \vspace{20pt} in the maketitle
macros (thats an approximation). Alternatively, don't use \maketitle,
and put the info in by hand
