Hi,
I am wanting to produce a single page of LaTeXed stuff, and to this end I would like my title to take up as little space as possible (currently it is taking up about a third of the page, by default).
Does anyone know how to shift it up the page a bit?
Yes, don't use the title/author/... macros, but set the title/autor/... bare-handedQuote:

My current practice, since I don't need to conform to the requirements of anyone else is to set documents bare-handed (some of the examples at AoP use this technique).

How would I do that? Currently it reads,Quote:

Do you mean just, well, do it genuinely bare-handed? Telling it the size, etc, myself?
I have extended my post so you will need to look back at that.Quote:

There is probably far more than you require in the preamble in the above, you probably won't have to set the page layout like that (I don't in more nearly finished stuff now)Code:%
