The chapter was one explaining how to work out square roots, and it had displayed fractions w/ varying numbers of digits, and I was trying to get (say) a three digit fraction on the first page lined up with a four digit fraction w/ two blank columns after it on the last page, something like: 1 2 3 Completed root x ----- 4 5 6 (many intervening pages w/ similar alignments) 7 8 9 0 Extracted root y ------- 1 2 4 5 1 2 3 4 5 6 Completed root ----------- 7 8 9 0 1 2 Notice how the last column of the ``Completed root'' lines up (at the page margin) for both. If amsmath align offered a way to do that, I couldn't find it :( William -- William Adams, publishing specialist voice - 717-731-6707 | Fax - 717-731-6708 www.atlis.com
