In my Chemistry phd thesis and in the experimental part I am getting pages of text that are overful. This is not by a small amount but by 1000's of points!!. I am using \begin{sloppypar} .... \end{sloppypar} over the whole of the experimental chapter to get even decent line breaks and am using \newline to get new lines for clarity of spectral information. toc information is written by \addcontentsline{section}{Alcohols} to replace the individual headings which are starred (*) ie \section*{Alcohols} to prevent numbering in the text. Processing the whole document gets the pages only in the experimental part overfull. However \includeonly the experimental part and the experimental pages print perfectly. Doe any one have any idea what is going on here? Thanks for any help. Tony Scott. ascott@gara.une.oz.au

Don't do things this way. If you don't want sections numbered include the command \setcounter{secnumdepth}{0} in the preamble of your document; this will cause LaTeX to only number chapters and parts. TOC entries will be handled as desired. > Processing the whole document gets the pages only in the experimental > part overfull.

Sounds like it's possible that returning your \section*'s to \sections as I indicated above _might_ fix the problem, but I wouldn't bet any money on it just now. --- Don Hosek To retrieve files from ymir via the | dhosek@ymir.claremont.edu mailserver, send a message to | Quixote TeX Consulting mailserv@ymir.claremont.edu with a | 714-625-0147 line saying send [DIRECTORY]FILENAME where DIRECTORY is the FTP directory (sans "anonymous") and FILENAME is the filename, e.g. "send [tex]00readme.txt".
