What I do in such a situation is to use the wordcount function of my textprocessor, and then count all \ separately, as they start TeX commands. Subtracting the latter from the former gives a rough guestimate of the No of words in the text. For most intents and purposes this should be good enough. > Subject: Roman type Greek letters > Could anyone tell whether it's possible > to make Greek letters look like Roman type The normal Greek characters in TeX are in italic, as they are intended mainly for maths. If you want to typeset Greek text you need a special font. This is available in the font directory at CTAN. ---------- Message: 3 From: "andrej t. hocevar" To: Subject: ifthenelse Date: Wed, 14 Jun 2000 21:43:52 +0200 charset="iso-8859-1" could anyone tell me how to say that something is true for capital letters only? thank you, andrej t. hocevar ---------- Message: 4 Date: Wed, 28 Jun 2000 15:53:15 -0400 (EDT) From: Mimi Burbank Subject: TUGboat 20(4) shipped to Cadmus To: tug-board@tug.org, tub-prod@scri.fsu.edu, office@tug.org, texhax@tex.ac.uk, tex-eds@nic.surfnet.nl I am glad to announce that TUGboat 20(4) was shipped to the printer yesterday afternoon.

Gray" Organization: Dept. of Chemical Engineering, University of Texas at Austin To: texhax@tex.ac.uk Subject: vertical placement oddity Hi, I've uncovered some odd behavior that I can't seem to get rid of or find in documentation or FAQs... When I use \flushbottom on my document, line spacing expands to fill up pages, but the subsection headings do not move along with the rest of the text. Therefore, the section headings end up overwriting text in the previous section, and a large gap is then left between the sections. (These extreme behavior is only on a few pages with bad page breaks, but looking closely at other pages I can see that headings are misplaced vertically) Any idea what could cause such behavior? I'm writing a thesis with a custom package, but the package uses the standard \@startsection to define the section headings, with appropriate rubber lengths, and I can't find any other modifications that would affect section headings. All the other packages I'm using are standard-distribution packages that, to my knowledge, shouldn't have anything to do with section headings. (amsmath,latexsym,graphicx,psfrag,rotating,overcite) I can't seem to figure out Thank you for any help you can provide, Jeff Gray ---------- Message: 6 Date: Thu, 29 Jun 2000 08:39:30 -0400 (EDT) From: Mimi Burbank Subject: Re: TUGboat 20(4) shipped to Cadmus To: tug-board@tug.org, tub-prod@scri.fsu.edu, office@tug.org, texhax@tex.ac.uk, tex-eds@nic.surfnet.nl a "my fingers got ahead of themselves" error in the contents of TUGboat 20(4) : > Statement of ownership 430 ^^^ should be "403" sorry, mimi burbank ---------- About TeXhax...
