Hi Oliver, I'm not sure if this will help, it's a bit of a bodge: set .po 6c, so the text appears on the right of the slide, then add a routine (.dopic) which places a picture (specified in \*[pic]) in the big left margin and if you wish to change the picture within the slide just call .dopic manually. Example pdfs are here:- http://chuzzlewit.co.uk/ms-valence.pdf (presentation) http://chuzzlewit.co.uk/ms-valence-pr.pdf (print) I started at Valence when I was 7 and was there for 10 years. Cheers Deri PS You need current groff (and perlmagick) to embed jpegs in a pdf, if using 1.23.0 the images have to be separate pdfs.
