I'm fairly new to TeX, and I suppose I know enough that I could
bang away at this for a couple of hours trying to figure out how
to do it, but I have a fairly immediate need ...
I'm not very good at making boxes yet. I need one of the
following description, complete with hrules and vrules as pictured:
here is the right margin-------
|
--------------------------------- |
| | Bartlby Wheezmacher (nnABC) | |
--------------------------------- |
| | Bartlby Wheezmacher (nnABC) | V
-----------------------------------------------------------------
| | Bartlby Wheezmacher (nnABC) | | Bartlby Wheezmacher (nnABC) |
-----------------------------------------------------------------
| | Bartlby Wheezmacher (nnABC) | | Bartlby Wheezmacher (nnABC) |
-----------------------------------------------------------------
| | Bartlby Wheezmacher (nnABC) | | Bartlby Wheezmacher (nnABC) |
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The contents of the name field will be filled from a database
program and so will be different for different printings, and the
ABC part of (nnABC) could be 1 2 or three letters. The little box
to the left of each name is for a checkmark, maybe a quad in
width.
The box needs to be printed flush right regardless of the length
of the names I put in it, so it can't used fixed spacing.
Notice the cutout in the upper right of the box.
If someone knows an easy solution to this probably
not-too-difficult problem and could email it to me, I would be
greatly indebted.
