I gave up on scrlttr2. I found it much easier to use the old LaTeX letter document class. For anyone reading this who may want to try scrlttr2 nonetheless, be aware that its stock configuration is for a4 paper size (which won't be an issue for many, admittedly) and, so far as I could determine, it ...

I didn't find a way yet to tweak the amount of space the heading takes for this document class. I've got a lot to learn. But I did find out how to eliminate the excess space that was appearing between the signature and the signee's printed name: I needed to comment out the lines \setkomavar{fromname ...

As I continue trying to learn my way around LaTeX by using it for some of my projects, I've now decided to try composing an official letter using it. Searching the internet, I came to understand that the Koma-bundle provides superior letter production, which reinforced a recommendation I got in ...

There's really nothing to tell at the moment, Thorsten. The underlin package you mentioned in a previous post gives the sort of header look I need for my current project. But, as I mentioned, I'm new to LaTeX and am trying to use it in my day-to-day work, so it's nice to know there's a willingness ...

Thank you for your reply, Stefan. I've taken a preliminary look at the bundle you've mentioned and, for a relative newbie like me, it's a bit much to take in at this point. But I've made a mental note of it and will be trying to understand it better as I continue trying to use LaTeX.

Thank you for that suggestion, Thorsten. The underlin package--when used according to directives you gave to someone else at http://www.latex-community.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=4086 does, in fact, give the sort of horizontal rule I was hoping for. I do get an overfull vbox error when I process ...

I've successfully created a document (article) with a heading using \pagestyle{myheadings}. Since I'm fairly new to this I've been reading over The Not So Short Introduction to LaTeX, which contains a heading I like much better--mainly because it has a horizontal rule that helps better to ...

Hey, not bad. I managed to stump the experts on the first try :D . But seriously . . .

This query really needs to be divided into two threads; one inquiring about using a table for what I want to do, and which should be pursued in the Graphics, Figures & Tables forum, and one focusing on using ...

Drat. xtabular and even supertabular have not shown themselves up to the task of handling table rows/cells that exceed page height. parcolumns handles that part of my task nicely, but it is more labor-intensive to enter the text: even though I'm copying-and-pasting, I do have to create new colchunk ...

Here's an example of what I've been doing with the longtable package: \documentclass{article}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{longtable}
\usepackage{xtab}
\usepackage[top=1in,bottom=.5in,left=.7in,right=1in]{geometry}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\begin{document}
\title{Parallel ...
