Although LaTeX makes it somewhat easy to add page heading (via the myheadings page style), is there a way to specify page footings? Also, can someone suggest a way to allow for more customization of page headings and footings? -- Xev Gittler xg00@gte.com, or xg00%gte.com@relay.cs.net

You can set up \@oddfoot, \@evenfoot (& \@evenhead, \@oddhead):
\makeatletter
\renewcommand \@oddfoot {\centerline{my own foot!}
\let \@evenfoot = \@oddfoot
\makeatother
Points:
1. Omit the \makeatletter / \makeatother if in a .sty file.
2. Don't do a \pagestyle after this, or you'll wipe out your handiwork.
3. \let creates an exact alias for a single token; it is a plain TeX
command but is available in LaTeX.
4. {}s are not need around the command-name in \newcommand (though they
are in \newenvironment); I omit them because I think it is more readable
to do so.
5. I discovered this by using the \show command.
6. I agree that LaTeX should have better direct (ie, not diving into "TeX"
or delving about in \show or the LaTeX source for this sort of thing . . .
