Any quick > fix for this? Well, nroff does what the macro packages ask it to do. Which macros are you using? Without a macro package, either pipe a '.pl 60' to it before the text you're formatting, or try using the option -r.p=60. Why are you using nroff with a laser printer, anyway? troff gives much better output. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.
