I'd do something more like \documentclass{article} \begin{document} Hello, world.\footnote{Thanks to Kernighan and Ritchie.} \end{document} Shao> Also, how do I break text into paragraphs without any white Shao> spaces at the beginning of each paragraph. Try \setlength{\parindent}{0pt} % No indent at the start of paragraphs \setlength{\parskip}{1ex} % Put 1ex vertical space between paragraphs Shao> I am using paragraph within section, I rarely, if ever, use \paragraph. Any chunk of text delimited by a sectioning command or a completely empty line is considered a "paragraph". I'd recommend reading through /usr/lib/texmf/doc/latex/general/lshort2e.dvi.gz, which is a reasonably good reference to the LaTeX system. If you're serious about learning and using LaTeX, I'd also recommend Leslie Lamport's book, _LaTeX: A Document Processing System_ or some such, which also provides a good introduction to LaTeX. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://donut.mit.edu/dmaze/ "Hey, Doug, do you mind if I push the Emergency Booth Self-Destruct Button?"
