I am writing a stylefile for LaTeX for preparing faxes (yes I know I should do it direct dvi-->fax...), and I want to lay out the front page with various headings, and the start of the text. Can anyone suggest how to get the text that would appear on page 1 into a tabular environment? Sebastian

On the other hand, a really easy way to put a box around an entire page is do something along the lines of {\unitlength=1in\begin{picture}(0,0){\put(0,0){\framebox(6.5,9){}} \end{picture}} at the beginning of your page footer (actually, along those lines, one of our locals took it one step further and drew the box using PostScript and \special. Now *that's* one sharp visual affect). We'll be putting the files into [anonymous.tex.inputs.local] one of these days for the perusal of others. -dh --- Don Hosek TeX, LaTeX, and Metafont Consulting and dhosek@ymir.claremont.edu production work.
