CTAN upload: wordlike
by CTAN Announcements 19 Feb '06

19 Feb '06

On Sat, 18 Feb 2006, Juergen Fenn submitted the new package wordlike to CTAN. Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/wordlike Licence: LPPL The package consists of these files: * wordlike.ins * wordlike.dtx * README with some hints to installing the package Wordlike.sty is a simple package that may be used to simulate word processor layout: * Narrow page margins (2,5 cm) * Times/ Helvetica/ Courier fonts * ormalsize + small headings, and * sloppy typesetting (sic!) throughout are provided. The package aims at making life easier for those users who are discontent with LaTeX's standard layout settings because they need a layout that resembles the usual wordlike output. The package draws on several discussions in the de.comp.text.tex and comp.text.tex newsgroups that are referred to in the manual. Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf
