I should try it with zwpagelayout with cropmarks enabled because in this case I change \hoffset and \voffset...

They are documented in The TeXbook but not in books on LaTeX. LaTeX honours them but packages may assume zero values when calculating distance from the (1in, 1in) reference point using \topmargin, \oddsidemargin, \evensidemargin. Of course, well designed packages should take \hoffset and \voffset into account but users should use LaTeX in the LaTeX way, they should not combine LaTeX and plain TeX methods without knowing what they do and what may happen. >> >> >> - -- >> François Patte > > > Hope this helps, > > Ross > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Ross Moore ross.mo...@mq.edu.au > Mathematics Department office: E7A-206 > Macquarie University tel: +61 (0)2 9850 8955 > Sydney, Australia 2109 fax: +61 (0)2 9850 8114 > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > > > > > > -------------------------------------------------- > Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: > http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex > -- Zdeněk Wagner http://hroch486.icpf.cas.cz/wagner/ http://icebearsoft.euweb.cz -------------------------------------------------- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex
