I am trying to get IEEE Transaction style text format. But the two columns become different in their length. Is this a known bug? I recall that I've seen some postings about this. But at that time I did not pay any attention. Thanks for any help. Hugh gsg0384@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu song@ardent1.ceg.uiuc.edu /* End of text from uxa.cso.uiuc.edu:uiuc.tex */

The problem is that there are other `hidden' parameters in \LaTeX which has effect in two column mode (\@colht and \@colroom). These should be reset if \textheight is changed. (Similarly, \linewidth, \oddsidemargin and \evensidemargin should be reset if \textwidth is changed.) I have a style called fullpages which does this (and a bit more). I will be happy to email a copy if you wish. jim burns James E.
