Re: disappearing header


Hi Ian, 

Thanks for your suggestion. In fact that was even worse :-(
My size is A5, and when I try to specify it by changing the default or
with the command line parameter, I get indeed an A5 document, but
starting from the middle of my page, the other middle being blank...

This makes me think more and more of a corrupted bounding box.

Camille.
