In my Chemistry phd thesis and in the experimental part I am getting pages
 of text
that are overful. This is not by a small amount but by 1000's of
points!!.

I am using \begin{sloppypar} .... \end{sloppypar} over the whole of
the experimental chapter to get even decent line
breaks and am using \newline to get new lines for clarity of spectral
information. toc information is written by
\addcontentsline{section}{Alcohols} to replace the individual headings
which  are
starred (*)  ie \section*{Alcohols}  to prevent numbering in the text.

Processing the whole document gets the pages only in the experimental
part overfull. However \includeonly the experimental part  and the
experimental pages print perfectly.

Doe any one have any idea what is going on here?

Thanks for any help.
