Exceltex not printing cell

Hi Guys,

I've been trying to get the package exceltex (https://www.ctan.org/pkg/exceltex?lang=en) to work and I'm almost there but the final step is not working. The idea is to get a value from a certain cell and print it in the file.

The script uses a perl script (I have Strawberry Perl ...

Adjust trim margin for eps2pdf

Yes I have, in multiple ways, there's print and saveas commands in matlab and I have tried them both with different settings, no luck.

Used your second advice though and tried saving directly as pdf, don't know why I never tried that. The plots are good then, just lots of whitespace around the ...

Adjust trim margin for eps2pdf

Thanks for your quick reply. Took away pdftex and renamed the image to try again. My latex is up to date. Still produces the same result.

Here's a code example of how to reproduce the problem:

\documentclass[10pt,journal,compsoc]{IEEEtran}
\usepackage{graphicx}

\begin{document}

\begin{figure ...

Adjust trim margin for eps2pdf

Hi,

I'm having trouble with the my eps figures and the trimming them when they're converted to pdf. For some reason the eps figures are cropped to tightly which removes some of my figures. The plots are saved from Matlab.

I have tried saving the eps files differently, which didn't work and this ...

Oscola bibliography not finding references

Thanks again. Getting somewhere now, at least it's finding the references. The output of the .blg file is now:

Oscola bibliography not finding references

Ah I see what you mean, sorry. I'm not as familiar with the workings of bibliographies as I could be. Normally, with non-oscola style citations, it just works. To me it is strange though that a tex file produces totally different output on my system then on the poster of the tex file in question ...

Oscola bibliography not finding references

Hi all,

I've been using LaTeX for quite some years now but only for engineering papers/articles. Now a friend of mine (Law major) is trying to learn how to use it but is having some trouble with their citation method. In law they apparently often use Oscola ( https://www.ctan.org/pkg/oscola?lang=en ...
