[comp.text.tex] Help w/ Latex Paging

marc@meaddata.com (Marc Kuperstein) (11/15/90)

I have a couple of questions concerning formating in LaTeX.  Any help
would be appreciated.

(1) I am producing a book (technical) where some parts consist of
three column information.  Since the text in these columns can be
rather lengthy I am using the \parbox[t] function.  Works great.
However, at the top of each page where this formating is being used I
would like to place column headers.  These headers can vary when the
three column format is used in other places in the document.  The
problem:  How should I define these headers, and how do I know when a
page break is reached so I can insert these headers.  I am already
using @oddhead and @evenhead for top of page formating (see (2)
below).

(2) I would like to create multi-line headers for my documents.  I
have played around and found that the \parbox appears to provide some
of what I need.  Question: Is this the right approach, or should I use
a better one.  Any suggestions.

Thanks in advance.  If people send me there answers I will be happy to
post the results, if appropriate.
