I was rather burned out last evening when I wrote my first reply. My publisher specified the page size (9-1/8" high x 6-1/4" wide). With the default margins, the text body size fits nicely. When I print drafts on stanard US Letter paper (11" high x 8.5" wide) the extra wide margins are obvious. I suppose that either approach works. At least Springer-Verlag provides a LaTeX file for monographs that makes it much easier for me to deliver camera-ready copy to them. Rich -- Dr. Richard B.
