When I use fancyheadings.sty by Piet van Oostrum, I get an overfull vbox message on every page. It is generally the same amount (11.20007pt is a typical dimension). I've never been able to get rid of the message by playing around with various length parameters that seemed applicable --- the only result is that the overfull amount changes. Does anyone have experience with this and know how to fix it?

This is caused by the fact that the \headheight in the standard styles is
rather small, especially if you use 11pt or 12pt options or bigger
headlines.
The same may apply to \footskip. So if you make these a little bit bigger,
your problems should disappear. In the next version I will document this.
Compare also the following from fancyheadings.doc:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Each of the six fields is set in an appropriate parbox, so you can put a
multiline part in it with the \\ command. It is also possible to put
extra space in it with the \vspace command. Note that if you do this you
will probably have to increase the \headheight or \footskip lengths.

Does anyone have experience with this and know how to fix > it? fancyheadings.sty is a very nice style option. I use it quite a lot. To your problem: you have to change \LaTeX's page style parameters (see page 163 in the \LaTeX-book): Increase \headheight (and maybe change \topmargin and/or \headsep) and eventually increase \footskip. > Steve Eddins > Georgia Tech, PO 33575, School of Elec Eng, Atlanta, GA 30332-0250 > internet: eddins@eedsp.gatech.edu uucp: gatech!eedsp!eddins Petr Zimak, Computing Department, University of Basel, Switzerland zimak1@urz.unibas.ch --- zimak@urz.unibas.ch
