It appears from experimentation (I'm no [La]TeX expert) that no matter what I do, LaTeX puts the first line of an article at the same vertical position; I can't move it higher on the page as hard as I try, no matter what \textheight is set to, no matter what \vskip -[arg] I insert. It looks to me that after a certain point, incrementing \textheight simply adds to the bottom of the page, without changing the top margin (this is after I've set \topmargin to 0 true in long since). Is there a way to get LaTeX to move up the beginning of a page? I'm using article-10 format, on LaTex 2.09 of March '87. Help would be appreciated; I have the canonical 5-page paper and four allocated pages in the conference proceedings. Thanks ....

You want a smaller--i.e., negative--value of \topmargin. (Anything less than -1in and you're off the top of the page, though!) -- rar
