Has anyone out there ever >heard of such a beastie? I'm not aware of such a template, tho I suspect it would be a bear to write and not too helpful anyway because of the rather free format of TeX. I would suggest the alternative of using something like LATeX. It is a set of macros to make TeX feel like RUNOFF. (That's feel, not look!) It does not offer all of the flexibility of `straight' TeX, but it does make getting started a lot easier and does not preclude the use of regular TeX constructs when you need something special. I believe LATeX is now distributed with TeX and the manual is available from Addison-Wesley. R.
