Well, when I do an "unvbox" on the vtop which has the marks, it does work (that is, the marks are visible on the page). The problem though is that totally screws up the layout :( I have two vtops, "engbox" and "hebbox", where "engbox" has the marks in it. The layout: \line{\box\engbox\kern\mykern\box\hebbox} lays out just right; but this is very wrong: \line{\vadjust{\unvbox\engbox}\kern\mykern\vadjust{\unvbox\hebbox}} In this case, the 'hebbox' content appears one 'paragraph' below the 'engbox' contents, rather than to the right as it does when using plain 'box' So I'm now trying to 'unvbox' a copy of the 'engbox', but now I have extra text (and 'lastbox' doesn't seem to remove it...) But at least it's getting closer... -- For privacy, my GPG key signature is: AD29415D
