Re: [SL] assistance with LaTeX template - items cut off page

[Myk R. <myk...@gm...>]

Thanks for the reply. Is anyone able to give me some pointers on this? I
don't really understand TeX. This is currently the standard
out-of-the-box TeX template, with the exception of the customized
letterhead. Since this is a common problem, I am hoping that someone can
tell me what is safe for me to remove. Granted, I could do some trial
and error, but looking at the TeX language, I am not sure what is safe
to delete.

Thanks in advance,
