Hi all. Apologies if this is a meaningless question. Is it possible (*at the LaTeX source level*) to intersperse size changing commands (e.g. \addtolength{\textheight}{2cm}) in the `images.tex' file, within the `\begin{document}...\end{document}' portion of the file, but outside any of the `{\newpage\clearpage...\clearpage}' groups which delimit the images? The 99.1 manual suggests to me that the `\begin{imagesonly}...\end{imagesonly}' environment should do the job: "...Typically this is used to add commands to the preamble of images.tex, such as setting the text or background color. However code can be added at any other point as well" but I can't make it work in the above specified way. Any help will be warmly appreciated Ciao Gabriele =========================================================================== Gabriele Balducci tel I-40-6763957 Dipartimento di Scienze Chimiche fax I-40-6763903 Via L.
