So if you wanted to create a horizontal rule that spans the entire page (\hsize) you could do this: \hbox{\kern-\leftskip\hbox to \hsize{\hrulefill}} The \kern-\leftskip should move you back by the amount of left margin (NOT including the 1in margin inserted by the DVI to device conversion program). There is probably a better way to do that, but I haven't got a TeXbook handy. -- In-Real-Life: Chris Torek, Univ of MD Comp Sci Dept (+1 301 454 4251) UUCP: seismo!umcp-cs!chris CSNet: chris@umcp-cs ARPA: chris@maryland
