it's not clear what you're doing and what you want.

\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,

Nicholas:

have you tried putting the following commands in the preamble, i.e., before
\begin{document}, and varying the even and odd margins and
textwidth until your page numbers are even?

documentstyle{article}

\setlength{\textwidth}{6in}
\setlength{\oddsidemargin}{1.00in}
\setlength{\evensidemargin}{1.00in}

\begin{document}

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,
