Ok I think I've got it now. Thanks for all your help!

Oh I see. So what it means is that if f_prev was less than 1000, the highest f_current can be is 1000.

Ah I need to keep the terms separated. Is it then possible to use that expression in setting the xspaceskip value? If so, how would I write it?

Well Stefan I sure am glad I ran into you! Those last two references were fantastic, although I do not quite understand what is happening with the example at the bottom of pg182 in this new book. Perhaps you can help clarify it.

Their example says that sfcode for a is 1000, thus spacefactor becomes ...

Sorry for late reply, but I don't have internet access at home. Thanks for the examples. From what I'm reading, it appears that the use of spaceskip and xspaceskip will override the algorithms for stretching/shrinking interword and after-period space and replace it with a single defined space of ...

Oh what luck! You are online too! Sorry I keep editing my post as I find I have more and more questions, but I do like to figure out how it works so that I can understand why it's doing what it's doing. Thanks!

Hi Stefan. Thanks for the link. Changing the value did produce drastic results. (I also found out that my use of the ragged2e package was overwriting certain plain tex algorithms, hence the spacing after periods seemed to be quite different than when using plain tex.)

Another question: how can I ...

Yes, I thought latex used algorithms for variable spacing to work with the left/right justification. I'll see if I can hunt down that book. Thanks.

Hi all. I'm using a modified report class and need to ensure that there are two spaces after a period ending a sentence. Can someone help me figure out where to look for this info in the style file? Or is there a way to force this by adding something in my preamble? (My Grad Studies dept insists on ...

Can you please clarify that?

In case you just wanted to rename the nomenclature page, see pg 9 of the nomencl.pdf

There's a bunch of other neat tricks in there too.

If using the hyperref package, you may use the pdfstartpage=pgnumber to open at a specific page. Adobe still doesn't play well with this.

Since you are using Adobe Reader v8, I assume that you just need some sort of pdf viewer to check your work. In this case, may I recommend the free version of ...
