Yes, I'm German, and I've used komascript before, and that is definitely a way to achieve what I want. I'm just trying to repeat the nice experience I had with writing a modern CV in LaTeX - download a template, put in your data, and enjoy a beautifill CV (or letter) - actually much more beautiful than I would have ever managed to produce, and all that without hours or days of tweaking. But I probably should have a second look at the scrlttr2 class. Thanks for the tip. -- cheers, Thorsten
