reproduce large amounts of text

I am writing a document in which I want to print identical text a few times per page (separated by some space). Unless there is some other way, I was trying to define a new command consisting of the text and then calling the command a few times in the document. This seems to work fine if the command ...

letter | Serial Letters

Hi,

I am writing a letter in LaTeX that I want to send to a number of different recipients. The catch is that I want to send a slightly different version of the letter depending on the recipient: for example, in the letter to be sent to Ms. XX I'd like the body of the letter to say Ms. XX and in ...

citation size & reference header

Hi,

I have two questions about bibtex in beamer. First, I'm doing a beamer presentation and I'd like the default size of the citations to be smaller. That is, whenever I type the \cite{} command, I'd like whatever is cited to appear in, say, scriptsize. After much more googling than I'd care to ...

batch replace text?

Hi,

I am making a number of very similar documents. Occasionally I want to make an identical change to all the documents. It would be great if I could do this in one fell swoop, rather than (as I am doing it now) by opening each separate .tex file and cutting and pasting, etc. Is there a way of ...

new comment environment

Hi,

I am writing a beamer presentation and I'm trying to create two sets of presentations, one of which omits entirely some of the slides of the other. That is, for certain frames I would like to define a new environment that, by changing the \newenvironment command at the top, the frame will ...

pgfpages with notes problem

Hi,

I am trying to create a printout of notes that I can refer to while giving a lecture on beamer. I would like to have multiple frames per page. I can't seem to figure out how to do this.

Things do not work when you try something like this:


\documentclass[handout]{beamer}
\usepackage{pgfpages ...

highlighting and overlays

Hi,

I'm trying to create a presentation in beamer and one thing I'd like is to put up a table in one overlay and then have one row (or column) of that table be highlighted in the next overlay. What I've done now is to do this in two separate frames, one with no highlighting and the next with the ...

multiple but different copies of a document

Hi,

I'm trying to create a questionnaire to be distributed to a bunch of people. I need each copy to contain a different identification number, ie I need one copy to say "ID 1," at the top, another to say "ID 2," and so on up to "ID 20." Is there a convenient way to do this? I could obviously copy ...

Change appearance of section/references, etc

Hi,

I'm sure this is really easy but I've spent quite some time googling this and I can't find any documentation. Basically, all I want to do is change the appearance of section/subsection/subsubsection/references/etc in my document. Specifically, I am writing a really small document and so I'm ...
