Bad luck. All tables are fixed size. You usually have to change the source
for table sizes, though some versions can do it in iniTeX.

I've just recently gotten the PSTricks package, and really haven't
used it yet,  but by looking at it's documentation,  it looks like
that could be pretty easily done with PSTricks.

Subject: LaTeX environment - What did I do wrong?
Date: 10 Oct 92 03:56:43 GMT
Organization: AI Programs, University of Georgia, Athens

I'm defining an "example" environment for numbered examples in
linguistics papers.  I'm using the equation counter so that there
will be one continuous numbering sequence for equations and
examples.

Here's what I've got:

\newenvironment{example}%
{\refstepcounter{equation}%
\begin{list}{}%
{\setlength{\listparindent}{0pt}%
%%%%\renewcommand{\makelabel}[1]{#1\hfil}%
}%
\item[(\theequation)]%
}%
{\end{list}}

It works fine except for the line which is commented out; if I un-comment
it, I get "illegal argument number" errors. 

What I want to do is make the example numbers appear flush left instead
of flush right within the space set aside for item labels.

Is this anything like the right way to do it?

Subject: Strange underfuls in lists of 2-column text
Organization: SOCS - McGill University, Montreal, Canada
Date: Thu, 15 Oct 1992 14:55:49 GMT

When I use the "list" environment together with "twocolumn.sty" I get
strange underfuls like:

 (i) Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla 
     bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla 
     bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla.

(ii) Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla 
     bla                                 bla   <----------  !!!!!!!
     bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla. 

The same happens if, instead of "twocolumn.sty", I switch to 
"multicolumn.sty" and I select 2 column output as

 \begin{multicols}{2}
 \begin{list}
  .......
 \end{list}
 \end{multicols}

Of course, I get the error message "Underful 10000", but I have no
idea why this happens.  If I join the two "bla"s" of the line with
underful by a tilde (~), then an underful occurs as

  bla bla                    bla 

Keeping using the tilde, eventually pushes the underful to the next
line, but it seems I can not eliminate it completely.

Any ideas why this happens????

Thanks in advance, and, please, forgive my ignorance!

Dimitrios

PS.  The underfuls do not appear when I abandon 2-column text and I
switch to single column text with text-width equal to column-width of 
double column text!!!!

Organization: University of Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand

Hi everyone.

I'm beginning to use a TeX system on Macintosh, OzTeX and DVIM72-Mac.
I can compile files by the OzTeX, but I cannot print out them.
Please teach me the setup of the DVIM72-Mac.

I'm using Macintosh Plus + 4MB RAM + 52 MB HD + Kanji Talk 6.0.7, and 
Panasonic KX-P1081 printer (I think this is ImageWriter compatible,
because I usually use ImageWriter driver without trouble)
I extract sit files in OzTeX folder, and put all fonts (300,329,360,...
and 72, 86, 104, 144...) into PK-files folder.

I changed Font resolution item in "Settings" dialog box of DVIM72-Mac
to 300dpi (because I have 300dpi fonts). And I tried to print out 
a dvi file. However a paper is feeded out, any characters aren't typed.
I tried another resolution, 144, 360. But the result was same.
Only when I choose "other" resolution and 72 dpi, the document was typed.
Previewer is working well. Font name format is 72:cmr8, 72:cmr8.pk and
72:cmr8.72pk.

How should I set up DVIM72-Mac to use 300dpi or at least 144dpi fonts?
Or I have to use 72dpi font only ? It's very bad quality. If someone 
has an experience, please let me know. I can read both of news and
E-mail.

Thanks in advance.

Summary: Anyone have a formula for latex to word (or somesuch) page

Like so many stupid laTeX questions, this one is inspired by some
brilliant journal editor. Said editor was aghast at a 40 page single
spaced submission, but is willing to allow me a 50 page "standard"
double spaced submission. (I fear that standard in pol. sci. means
ms word or word perfect, double spaced, probably 10 pt type,
incredibly narrow (by the Knuth standard margins) one inch margins,
etc. This ain't my fault!)

Now I can play games to make his standard (go to 10 pt type, 6 inch
text line, doublespace with setspace). With these games my 40 pages
goes to about 42 "standard pages."

But I would like a rule for converting latex to "standard."
Obviously this would have a lot of parms. If anyone has a rule of
thumb, I would appreciate that also. (I use the straight emTeX
implementation of laTeX with cm fonts for an laserjet, 5" line,
standard margins, etc.)

Sorry for the useless question, but I would hate to waste another
hour playing stupid games with pretty text

Thanks

I've uploaded a cheesy little TeX utility on sonata.cc.purdue.edu.  I  
wrote it in a day so it's a pre-alpha :-) release 0.1.  I don't think it  
will crash and it does seem to do what it is suppose to in a crude way.


The file is TeXfig.tar.Z in the submissions directory.  It requires NS3.0.   
Also, I have placed this crude version up on the archives in hopes that  
someone will fix some of it's deficiencies.  Any changes you make will  
cause your name to appear in the info panel upon sending the changes to  
me.

It is like TeXice except that it is not a service and allows you to scroll  
through the figures and such more conviently then opening up a RTF doc  
with the TeX text and figures imbedded in the RTF.

It uses LaTeX by default and you have to recompile :-( to get it do  
otherwise.  There is a preferences nib but it is not enabled since it is  
far from complete.

I use it for generating TeX labels that I toss into a multitude of other  
drawings and thesis type things.

Here's the deal... I use a Tektronix 4107A, a Terminal capable of
displaying graphics at a decent resolution, good enough for simple
preview tasks...
However, all the previewers I have seen have never heard of a 4107A
and still seem to think 4014 is all that matters...
Ack, blech!
Is there something out there I have missed, or will I have to figure
out how to get TeX to produce 640 X 480 RLE files?

I hope the former is answerable...

Seems like you need a variant of the Harvard or American Psychological
Association bibliography styles. I've tested three implementations,
namely, 

	theapa

	available by anonymous ftp from ftp.cc.utexas.edu 
	in the pub/young directory. 


	harvard

	available by anonymous ftp from niord.shsu.edu


	authordate

	available by anonymous ftp from ftp.math.utah.edu
	in the pub/tex/bibtex directory.


All of these are packages including both .sty files and .bst files. 
As usual, .sty files are input by LaTeX. In this case, they add
functionality to the \cite commands, and give additional commands for
citations. Some of them altso include commands to modify layout.

The .bst files are read by bibtex and direct the formatting of the
bibliography listing. In general, I want such files to obey the
followiing:

	- close confirmation to standards
	- easy to configure for a particular languagge
	- easy to hack in

I found theapa and authordate easiest to handle, and I think I have
decided to stay with authordate (as a matter of fact, authordate2).


The reason for this is (theapa maintainer(s), take note):


	- authordate sets authors in \sc rather than \rm. This was easy to
	  fix.	
	

	- authordate sets address and publisher to `publisher, address'.
	  Altering this to `address: publisher' was a breeze.


	- authordate sets the names of editors to last name, first names.
	  Altering this to last names, first names was also easy.


	But

	- authordate has English words hardcoded. If theapa could
	  implement the above changes, I woudn't have to hack this in. But
	  apart from this, I found authordate more easily malleable than
	  theapa and easier to bring to terms with APA's standards.
	  
Notes for an internalization of authordate: I'd appreciate if one could
follow `theapa's' conventions here (apart from this, there still are some
English words hardcoded in `theapa.bst'. In this uncomplete and imperfect
world of ours, I find the best compromize to use my authordate2.bst
together with theapa.sty.

I assume that since we use an Apple Laserwriter that I should

substitute a nicer roman, boldface, and italic font in my
plain TeX document, how would I go about doing this?

If we want to get technical, I'd like to change math italics
to the new italic font also, but I'd leave the greek and
math symbols alone (since they probably wouldn't exist
in the new font anyway).

Another interesting question.

In the standard report.sty, you usually get the word 'Chapter' at the 
top of each chapter.  Is there a way to get LaTeX to eliminate this
word 'Chapter', and perhaps replace it by something like 'Section'?
The reason I'm doing this is that I'm writing a 40-50 page document, which
will be expanded to my thesis later, and the word 'Chapter' sounds a little
too impressive at the current moment...

Has anybody got an alternative to description that allows
me to format the labels like

 aaaaaa  blablabla
    bbb  blablabla
   cccc  sdlfjsdjsf

ie. right justify the labels and not left justify them like description
does.  

I checked TeX-Index couldn't find anything on this.

Cheers.
