I'm a TeX neophyte. I am using SliTeX and would like to have each slide enclosed by a box. Can a TeX wizard nudge me in the right direction. Thanks in advance. cristy@dupont.com -- The UUCP Mailer

Here's a slide format that does what you want, but it's not slitex. It uses
a font (culogo) that you don't have & don't need. The code marked XXXX
is what does the boxing.

% Picasso project slide format.

% Sample format:
%
% \documentstyle[picassoSlides]{article}
% \pagestyle{slideheaders} % slide header numbers
% \pagestyle{picassoheaders} % slide header numbers + picasso logo
% \begin{slide} % starts a new slide
% \begin{topic}{Slide Topic}
% ... use any LaTeX commands in here ...
%
% 'Slide Topic' appears in a large font with a horizontial
% rule underneath it. The rest of the document is in \LARGE.
% You can have more than one Topic per Slide.
%
% I use \begin{tabular}..\end{tabular} for
% bulletized items.
%
% Judicious use of \vfill will center your text. The begin..end
% topic macros insert \vfills at top and bottom to move your
% slide material to the middle.

the TeX code for the boxing is about 4-6 lines (could squeeze it to
2), but the rest of the style duplicates most of the functionality of
SliTeX (which I could never get to work like I wanted), while also
providing a 'list of slides' table & a couple of spare page layout
styles as well.
not only that, but i can preview the TeX code quickly too.
