Hi warrence,

concerning the lengths the geometry manual might be informative too.

thank you stefan and gmedina, that's quite interesting. unfortunatly it's not quite what i wanted.
actually i have some trouble with this:

Code: Select all

\newcommand*{\theoremframe}[1]{\noindent\fbox{\hspace{\parindent}\parbox{\textwidth-2\parindent}{#1} \hspace{\parindent}}\\}

which i use as a frame for a theorem environment ("amsthm"-package). this frame is wider than the textwidth, because the frames add some extra horizontal space. i could not figure out which length i have to subtract from the parbox-width to make it work...

@localghost:

This head-word makes me suggest you the hyphenat package. Perhaps it can solve the problem.

what problem do you mean? hyphenation works fine, because i use

Code: Select all

\selectlanguage

in all of the documents including the header-files.

Hi warrance,

the lengths you are looking are \fboxsep and \fboxrule, see here.
Substracting them should solve it:

Code: Select all

\newcommand*{\theoremframe}[1]{\noindent\fbox{\hspace{\parindent}%
\parbox{\textwidth-2\parindent-2\fboxsep-2\fboxrule}{#1}\hspace{\parindent}}\\}

You may notice I also removed one space near the end.

You can easily frame your theorems using the ntheorem package. You could also be interested in the empheq package.

oh... amazing. i'll check these packages out. looks promising!
thanks alot
