Hi all,

My book uses the memoir document class. At the bottom of all pages not 
beginning a chapter, I need a brown stripe going all the way across the page, 
with some white writing in it. I'm using a minipage and containing a shaded 
environment, and it works, except that no matter what I do, I cannot get the 
shading to start at the left edge, but instead it starts at the left margin. 
I can \hspace{-5in} and it still starts at the margin.

This is only true when the minipage is in the footer. When ERT containing the 
minipage and shaded is placed in the body, the shaded can be started anywhere 
by preceding it with the proper \hspace{}. But that trick doesn't work in the 
footer.

Any ideas?

Thanks
