That little space between two frameboxes

Sure, fine, it doesn't have to be a new paragraph.
It's just that

Code: Select all

\par
is easier to type and more understandable than

Code: Select all

\hfill\mbox{} \\

That little space between two frameboxes

Huh. Fascinating. That paragraph break is what lets it happen, apparently.
Try this:
\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{article}
\begin{document}
\noindent \framebox[2cm]{Text1}\\%
\vspace{-3\fboxrule}%
\framebox[2cm]{Text2}
\end{document}
You'll notice that no argument for \vspace will allow it to go ...

Re: That little space between two frameboxes

Stefan,

All of the previously mentioned commands (vspace, addvspace, raisebox) were tried with negative values, and none of them would allow the box to go any higher than 1mm below the previous box.

That little space between two frameboxes

I didn't realize that space was so holy. I can't get rid of it.

My situation:
I have a framebox, a newline, and another framebox of a different width. I want to fudge that lower framebox up so that the top border of the bottom framebox is touching the bottom border of the top framebox, effectively ...

subsubsections won't number themselves

Code: Select all

\setcounter{secnumdepth}{3}
That did it. Knew I forgot something (tocdepth was already 3).
Thanks!

subsubsections won't number themselves

Even when explicitly defining...
\renewcommand{\subsubsection}{\@startsection{subsubsection}{3}{0pt}{6pt}{6pt}{\large\bfseries}}
\renewcommand{\thesubsubsection}{\arabic{subsubsection}. }
\setcounter{subsubsection}{0}%
...my subsubsections will still not number themselves.

For example, with ...

Adjusting margins for a single page

Can't say that I've had a lot of success with the three packages you mentioned in your last post, but I found other ways around my assorted problems.

I just wanted to say that for the issue I brought up in my original post (putting a graphic at the bottom edge of the page) textpos worked quite ...

Re: Adjusting margins for a single page

Stefan,

I think that'll do just fine, thanks!

However, I'd prefer to use a method that actually adjusts the margin and/or foot height itself, for future reference. Also, I have a few other problems that could've been easily fixed by fudging margins that never worked out because of the problems I ...

Adjusting margins for a single page

This has been driving me crazy for about a day or two now...

I have margins defined by the geometry package. For a single page in my report, I need to put a graphic pretty much flush with the edges of the page itself.
I figured I could do this two ways:

1) Change the footer to the graphic.
