I get the same for pdf output no matter what I set for the margins, when I use Acrobat. When I use xpdf, it looks great. When I use gv it does not work. I don't understand the pdf differences, but do know that my students (from Windows land, with nary a glimpse at much beyond Word/Acrobat) won't get the proper layout. ??? very frustrating. Thanks for the input, Les! Kenward ps. what the heck is "xdg-open?" It keeps popping up iceweasel to display something, which is a very wasteful move. I'm slowly changing various format viewers over to what I expect for them--it's faster, more intelligent (IMHO), and not irritating. -- In a completely rational society, the best of us would aspire to be _teachers_ and the rest of us would have to settle for something less, because passing civilization along from one generation to the next ought to be the highest honor and the highest responsibility anyone could have. - Lee Iacocca
