+\appendix (in the standard latex classes) changes the top-level
+section `numbering' to be alphabetic (that's \section in article
+class, \chapter in book and report class); in book and report class it
+also changes the name `Chapter' to `Appendix'.
+
+i would expect you to be getting `A', `A.1', `A.2', ..., `B', `B.1',
+...
+
+is this not what you observe?
+
+what do you actually want?

+
+report & book class will say `Appendix A' for the top level appendix,
+but (in common with almost any book i know) won't put `appendix' in
+front of every subsection of the the appendixes.
+
+if you want something like the above, you need to rewrite some part of
+the class you're using. are you writing a dissertation of some sort?
+(very often, one finds that universities have their own dissertation
+classes that address issues like this.)

+Subject: Appendices in LaTeX
+
+Dear Yomi:
+
+First, you don't need to make each appendix a chapter, as that would make
+each appendix title appear in the table of contents as a
+chapter. Instead, simply input each appendix file with
+
+\input{appendA} (where the filename is appendA.tex)
+
+Next, at the beginning of file appendA.tex put
+
+\renewcommand{\thepage}{\arabic{page}}
+\thispagestyle{plain}
+\section*{\bf \Huge Appendix A}
+\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\bf Appendix A}
+\renewcommand{\thepage}{A--\arabic{page}}
+\markboth{Appendix A}{}
+\markright{Appendix A}
+
+then put your appendix text here.
+
+If you begin each appendix file with the commands above, an line with page
+number should be added to the table of contents for each
+appendix. Also, page numbering in appendix A will be A-1, A-2, but only in
+the appendix. The actual number of the page should show
+in the table of contents.
+
+Good luck,
+

+\begin{document}, and varying the even and odd margins and

+Subject: epsfig and non-postscript printers
+
+Hello,
+ I want to include some pictures/graphs in documents
+using latex and then ** print ** them in a NON-POSTCRIPT printer.
+
+I can convert my pictures to postscript and then (using epsfig) insert
+them into latex and easily print on a postscript printer, but what happens
+when one has a non-ps hewlet packard for example?
+
+I understand that one may use the ``picture'' environment to draw
+lines etc (using texcad for example) but suppose I have a gif file?
+
+thank you very much,
+a.

+Subject: help on lucida
+
+Using The Latex Companion for guide to typesetting my documents i notice
+the beautyful style of fonts. I read in the companion that to use those
+fonts I must specify the package lucidbrb.sty. In the sunsite archive i
+download the package lucida where i find the sources to create the styles.
+The documentation i found suggest to do:
+`Latex lucidabr.ins' to create the styles and .fd files. The result is a
+succesion of Unrecognized command sequencies...
+The second thing suggested is
+`Latex lucidabr.yy', but it has the same effect.
+I decided to use latex on lucida.ins, and this time seems to work, but
+when i use dviscr (calling mfjob itself) doesn't find fonts needed.
+How can I do to use lucidbrb.sty correctly?
+It's so difficult obtain a style like the Companion?
+What is the right procedure to install it?
+
+Please help me, nobody can help me in Italy!
+
+Hopefully,
