Fixed it !

I was thinking that the column separator was triggered at the \\.
Once I realized that I needed to code the text as a single column, I
was able to google to the right answer.


\usepackage{multirow}
\multicolumn{2}{l}{/Export} \\[1.5ex]


I hope this helps someone else in the future ...

Thanks Thorsten for your interest...

The code below is minminal and tested.

I have never heard of the [2ex] option but not surprised, since the most basic TeX functions are typically not researched or well understood by myself and others.

Hi all,

I am making a table with tabular. I want to skip the row separator in select lines but I haven't seen or figured out a way to do this.

I do not want a separator associated with 'Export', 'Coregistration', etc...
I left all my code inplace and commented, in case any of my optional packcages ...

Good day
I use texlive through Ubuntu 9.10.

When I compile the code included below, the DVI output looks perfect. However, when I convert with dvipdf or dvipdfm or use pdflatex, the output
has completely different margins.

Opening the DVI in evince and saving the file as a PDF, does produce a PDF ...

I have made an interesting discovery...Using the Geometry package does move the margins and the page numbers just as one would think.

My text used to interfere with small margins but not since using \footskip.

The printed page still had different margins than the dvi.

This is a Ubuntu problem ...

There are times when math characters overwrite the page numbers. I'll work on an example, the problem is intermittent since I often change some other feature of the layout while editing.

In geometery, adding bottom=0.1cm does nothing to the page number position. At the moment a value for bottom ...

Hi again localghost,

I tried \setlength{\footskip}{1cm} in the preamble.

It helps, since it prevents a long line of math mode characters from interfering with the bottom center page numbers.

I was hoping to move the page number lower on the page so that my bottom margin can be smaller.

Here's a go at a minimial example. The whole thing compiles. I don't know how to use the \footskip command and where to put it. I read about it but
unsure how it works with my packages.

Thanks again for you help,

Hi all...

I use the geometry package for small margins, ~2cm for top, left and right.
However the page numbers are often too close to my text espcially when using math mode. I have default setting for page numbers at bottom center.

I have been trying to figure out how to move the page numbers ...
