Hi all,

On the title page of my new book, I want the title in \Huge size and centered. 
However, the book's margins make the last word of the title wrap, which of 
course isn't what I want.

I figured I could temporarily release the margins with \leftskip and 
\rightskip, but when I did, the title and everything else on the page was the 
new margin (even if I later made new \leftskip\rightskip to undo the first 
ones, and worse yet, everything after the first \leftskip and \rightskip was 
full justified, with the first char on the left margin and the last char on 
the right margin, regardless of how short the line. Ugh!

I removed all \leftskip and \rightskip and I tried this old standby:

\addtolength{\leftmargin}{-1.0in}\addtolength{\rightmargin}
{-1.0in}\addtolength{\textwidth}{2.0in}

But that did absolutely nothing -- it was as if I hadn't put it in.

Basically, I need to release the margins for just one line. Anyone have any 
ideas that don't involve new packages or document classes or changing the 
margins for the whole book?

Thanks

Steve Litt
