So 11pt would mean \baselineskip=22 and 12pt would mean \baselineskip=24. I think there used to be a small adjustment to this method (+ a few points), but you can modify it to whatever looks right to you (or gives you the right page count). The suggestion of .3in for 11pt is close to this number (it's 21.6, but .4pt just ain't a lot of difference). -- Michael Weintraub CIS Dept, OSU weintrb@cis.ohio-state.edu 2036 Neil Ave Mall (614) 292 - 7402 Columbus, Ohio 43210-1277
