Now that I have a setup that works it looks like you are correct.  It 
seemed to be necessary as I was trying to solve the page size problems I 
was having.  Are hsize and vsize set to 8.5 and 11 or are there any 
other considerations?

That makes sense.

I was real busy getting out some parts for a show.  I just tried 
removing the "topmargin = 0.45\in" I was using and the title got chopped 
off completely.  I am about to install Pedro's latest and I will send an 
example if I am still having the same problem.
