Re: Cleaning up (was multicols and tabbing)

Re: Cleaning up (was multicols and tabbing)
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.
