Document Classes ⇒ Stdpage: How to install it?

[paris]

Hello there!

I would like to use the stdpage package which is destinaded:

For translations, proofreading, journal contributions etc. standard pages are used. Those standard pages consist of a fixed number of lines and characters per line. This package produces pages with n lines of at most m characters each. For instance the German "Normseite": 60 lines of 30 characters each.

I found it here
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/ ... b/stdpage/
and here
http://texcatalogue.sarovar.org/entries/stdpage.html

Nevertheless, i don't know how to use it. My compiler sais:

! LaTeX Error: File `stgpage.sty' not found.

I copied the package in
/usr/share/texmf-tetex/tex/latex

but nothing happens.

(I use Kubuntu, and I could perhaps install the Package: texlive-latex-extra, if I only knew how...

Can anyone help me?

Thanks a lot!

Take a look at another topic here [1]. Stefan gives some useful hints for installation there. This should solve your problem

It didn't work though... (but I think it was close...)

Actually I had:

Code: Select all

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
E: Couldn't find package texlive-latex-extra

Thanks a lot, though!

Hi paris,

Nevertheless, i don't know how to use it. My compiler sais:

! LaTeX Error: File `stgpage.sty' not found.

There's a mistake in the name, it's called stdpage like you've written in your message too, but the compiler got the wrong name.

Thanks a lot Stefan!

Ouf...

I managed to do it!!!

(an alternative way is to just change the line spacing and the fonts size... You don't get precise number of characters and lines, but is more beautiful).

Thanks guys!

See you.
