My advice? Start writing in Org, and don't worry too much. Org's latex output to PDF already looks good, and should you decide later to update to a different page layout or template those settings are normally global and set once for the whole document. Its a case of focus on content, and make it pretty(ier) later. ;] Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Russell Adams rlad...@adamsinfoserv.com PGP Key ID: 0x1160DCB3 http://www.adamsinfoserv.com/ Fingerprint: 1723 D8CA 4280 1EC9 557F 66E8 1154 E018 1160 DCB3
