And this, for several reasons: TeX's output, the dvi file, is structured at a per-page basis. This means, that in order to make it do what you want, you'll have to re-format exactly one page, and then replace that page in the dvi file. Only if you want to keep track of the page breaks. I usually don't care about them until the document is almost finished. /Mats -- Mats Lofdahl, Stockholm Observatory, S-133 36 Saltsjobaden | +46 - 8 16 44 75 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Internet: lofdahl@astro.su.se | Bitnet: grodan@sekth | Sunet: royacs::lofdahl -- Mats Lofdahl, Stockholm Observatory, S-133 36 Saltsjobaden | +46 - 8 16 44 75 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Internet: lofdahl@astro.su.se | Bitnet: grodan@sekth | Sunet: royacs::lofdahl
