Hello again,
How could I shift the left edge (margin?) of the verse environment
across to the right? I would like to have it further across the page.
I'm not sure what class is the best for setting verse. Memoir seems to

Two suggestions:
(1) Try to put the verse in a minipage (Box), then center the box or use
an Hfill before it.
(2) Only if that fails, try something like
\setlength{\unitlength}{1cm}
\begin{picture}(width, height)
\put(x_coord,y_coord){\makebox(x_dim,y_dim)[position]{My verse.}}
\end{picture}
Les,

Forget poetry -- how would you inset a block of text (and it's
subsection title) so

Thanks a million for that file. It comes hot on the heels of
Christian's advice about a minipage and from the looks of things it's
a winner! I'm closing OpenOffice right now!
