Well... I guess I got it figured out afterall. I figured out the \parbox stuff, and I figured out that if I produce the document in Legal/Landscape and then put gv into portrait, I can see the document properly (except that it's sideways). I got both pages to show up... I am not sure what exactly I did to fix that. Anyway, here's the example file just for the heck of it. Maybe you know why I have to put gv into portrait in order to see the whole thing. On Sun, 25 Mar 2001, you wrote: > Christopher Jones wrote: > > > > Works like a charm.
