Good point. I hope one of our layout experts joins in this conversation. My first reaction is the same as yours. However, after studying the code it seemed to indicate that we do this on purpose, so I decided to at least fix it at the higher level. A couple of thoughts come to mind for why things are this way: 1. Do we process the layouts sequentially? If so, it might just be difficult to see a date layout after the code to make the title is written and go back. Perhaps we would need two runs? 2. The behavior of what happens seems to depend on the LaTeX class. I'm not sure about this, but in some cases, it seems that nothing is wrong with e.g. outputting the date after making the title. In other cases there is something wrong -- it doesn't show up and there is no LaTeX error. Hopefully someone else can enlighten us. Scott
