There has been some conversation back and forth about this format. I have it working now to _my_ satisfaction at least. Here are the changes I have made: IN HOLLYWOOD.CLS: 1. Moved the \usepackage commands to the top of the file (actually beginning about line 7.) 2. Removed the word that underlines the title. (found in line 76 in the original hollywood.cls.) 3. Uncommented the \renewcommand{headrulewidth}{0pt} 4. In the parenthetical macro, reduced the parboxwidth to 1.7 inches. IN HOLLYWOOD.LAYOUT 1. Added a RightMargin MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM line to the parenthetical layout, to approximate change 4 above on the screen. IN ~/.lyx/lyxrc Added line \bind_file "Hollywood.bind" My guide in making these changes has been the model screen layout published by the Nicholl Fellowships folks at: http://www.oscars.org/academy/nichollindex.htm My functional versions of the first two files can be found at: http://ccpl.carr.org/~john/tex.html My thanks to all who have helped me on this adventure, particularly Garst Reese who is the author of the format. -- John Culleton ---------> Please visit http://ccpl.carr.org/~john/
