My drivers, at least, allow negative offsets everywhere. If you generate a page header with something like \headline={blah blah\hfil\raisebox 8ex{\folio}} % 8ex is a guess the page number should come out above the top margin, at a `negative' y position (y=0 => 1 inch from top of page). Another more insidious problem you may have is with the printers themselves, which sometimes cannot print within a centimetre or so of the edge of the page. -- In-Real-Life: Chris Torek, Univ of MD Comp Sci Dept (+1 301 454 7690) Domain: chris@mimsy.umd.edu Path: seismo!mimsy!chris
