Hey Guys,

I'm trying to do a project that spits out some generic header, a generated bit of text in the middle and a closer that would be printed on a thermal, paper roll type, printer. My problem is figuring out the text height ahead of time so that I can get the part of the roll I'm printing on ...

OK, easy fix. Dump the contents of the .lco into a text file called file.sty and remove all of the koma-specific commands. In the main .tex file use
\usepackage{file} to load the extra settings.

Viola.

Hi Everyone,

I have an lco file I've made for Koma-script's scrlttr3 that I'd like to use in another koma class file. Changing the class and doing a recompile just to produce something results in an 'unused global option' warning for my lco reference. I've done a fair amount of googling but I can ...

I've tried movie15 before. Not once could I get to work. Now that I've moved to XeTeX there is no chance of that happening.

Hey Guys,

Hi Guys,

\startchemical
\chemical[SIX,B,C,MOV2,B,C,R234,RZ234,MOV5,MOV6,B,C,R561,RZ561]
[R,R,R,R,R,R ...

Every way I try to pass that option fails. I can specify letterpaper in the document class but i think it still isn't calculating the typrarea correctly.

Hey LG,

The problem turned out to be scrlttr2 needed the option [letterpaper]. It complains about wanting the a4 option set and I'm not sure if that's true or not. It seems to work though.

Hi Guys,

I have a letter that I can absolutely not get the footer to work with. \firsthead works fine ...

\documentclass{scrlttr2}
\usepackage[english]{babel}

\firstfoot{
\centering
bla bla bla...}

\begin{document}
\begin{letter}{%

Hey Thorsten,

Thx for the reply! Yes, I'm using article.cls and I was looking for this block of code (even though I didn't know it then). If I want to permanently make this change how would I go about doing that? I have tried to edit article.cls (and save under a different name) then re-index ...
