Thanks for the tip. I probably use different orders everytime I retype the header. I don't generally use lots of packages, so as long as hyperref doesn't depend on geometry, I wouldn't have that much trouble with it. > Along with amsmath, geometry, and fancyvrb, I think hyperref is in my top > list of groovy latex packages now. Thanks! ooh! fancyvrb looks cool!
