an arbitrary height and width? Using \resizebox seems to work if
one of the dimensions is !, but it doesn't seem to work right if
I specify both dimensions. Thanks in advance.
\_ Explain more? "Resize"? Smaller/larger? Scale what's inside?
Put more white space in?

(e.g. Word) and LaTeX? I want something that's higher quality

\_ If you use them as mathematical characters, they're
always variables. (I know this doesn't help much.)
\_ Thanks to the person who nuked my reply. Most fonts probably
do not have non-italic Greek, and most LaTeX packages probably

to use Visio years ago. I just need to do this once, so I don't
want to buy a package. I have Powerpoint. Can it do it? Xfig is
a little primitive? Anything else? Can be UNIX, Mac, or Windows-based.
\_ OpenOffice has a drawing tool that is pretty lame but
functional. -tom

Messenger? ICQ? I'm trying to sign up for one. Thx.
\_ AIM in USA, MSN for rest of the world. Don't bother with ICQ,
as the protocol is merging with AIM anyway. If I were you, I
get account in both AIM and MSN and use GAIM/Adium/Trillian as
client.

Save yourself from a meaningless life, and start using bibtex now.
