(if anyone has done all this and is willing to share, that would be peachy; again, i have no problem compensating someone for their assistance.) rday p.s. i asked this on the org list hoping for someone who also knows beamer, of course. if that doesn't work, i can ask on the beamer list, looking for someone who also knows org. :-) -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
