Thanks, I actually remember reading that thread. However, I'm not sure it's exactly the same problem in that, in my student's case, everything works up to to point of calling xdvi. I can probably help her with a workaround involving running latex manually, but will need to go back to the help page to remind myself how to find out which LaTeX packages are in use. I remember and example in one of them. > On Jan 23, 2008 9:22 AM, Kevin E. Thorpe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> Hello. >> >> I am posting this on behalf of a student in my class.
