This posting follows after a lack of success in getting the problem solved here at OSU. What is happening is I have a set of postscript files created using framemaker, and when trying to use \special to include these files in a latex figure, nothing appears on my printouts after using dvi2ps. Ok, here goes: Ok, after some incantation, I got the \special{psfile=my-favorite-graph.ps \hoffset=etc.} to include the figure in the printout. It actually worked and I was happy. Now I have a lot of figures in my current opus, and nothing comes out again. Does anyone have a clue why this is happening? (I'm sorry that Framemaker doesn't do bibliographies because I could set up the diss format fast). Frustratedly yours (macdraw + glue stick + scissors is easier than \special), Mike The problem is not with my \special declarations because when I create documents such as: \begin{document} \begin{figure} \vpspace{5in} \special{psfile=myfile voffset=-500 hoffset=-500} \caption{Yes, it did work} \label{spaz} \end{figure} \ref{spaz} \end{document} it did work. Now I include about 5 ps files and it doesn't. I appreciate the help and look for more comments.
