I don't want to be picky, but this is a (very) general (La)TeX question and
is much, much better asked on comp.text.tex:

http://groups.google.com/groups?group=comp.text.tex

I know there are people on this list that probably can answer your question,
but there are more people on comp.text.tex both to answer your question 
and to learn from the answer...
