Well... They post on technical forums (as I've been doing). Or they grovel to their friends (as I've been doing). Or they RTFM (as I've being doing). I dunno... I guess I really need to get one of my friends in particular to take a look (hard asking him though because he used to be a programmer and for him computer advice is worth money and you shouldn't loan money to friends). I popped an email off to technical support on Campus today so we will see what they have to say. I'm pretty sure that mathematics and physics and engineering etc have pretty good TeX support but I'm not sure if they would be happy to help out an ignorant student from the social sciences ;-)

We shall see. I'll have to be verrrrrry impressed with their efforts.

Thanks for the support guys. Means a lot.
