Just to clarify: .T_MARGIN 3.75c - running text starts at 3.75 centimeters, regardless of the header position or whether headers are turned on .HEADER_MARGIN 2.5c .T_MARGIN 3.75c - header is set 2.5 centimeters below the top of the page - running text starts at 3.75 centimeters .HEADER_MARGIN 2.5c .HEADER_GAP 1.25c - header is set 2.5 centimeters below the top of the page - running text starts at 1.25 centimeters below the header, effectively creating a top margin of 3.75 centimeters but .HEADER_MARGIN 2.5c .HEADER_GAP 1.25c .T_MARGIN 3c - body text starts at 3 centimeters because T_MARGIN takes precedence -- Peter Schaffter Author of The Binbrook Caucus http://www.schaffter.ca
