thanks to everyone for their advice -- I'm going to try these all out &
if I have any constructive commetns I'll report them back.  It's a
little duanting for me, as a non-latex user, to try to figure out how to
get documentsl ooking about how I want them to -- the default output of
the latex export has way too much whitespace for my tastes -- but I
guess I hsould be able to figure those issues out somehow.  thanks
again!
matt
