Actually it is slightly more complicated: If you put \usepackage{fixltx2e} into the preamble, and use text subscripts, you get a duplicate definition of \textsubscript. Therefore I added a fixltx2e module which can be used instead of the preamble line, and which prevents subscript.sty from being loaded. Instead of directly loading fixltx2e you can use this module in your default document, and always get fixltx2e. If you use custom classes you could even put the line Requires fixltx2e into your layout file to get the same result. Georg
