Howdy,

Well, I ran my version of your original commands, the one I suggested with
lots of  and that didn't work very well. Sigh...

The memoir class certainly redefines the way things are set up and I'm not
familiar with it either. I do know that I don't like the way it simulates
the article class with that option set.

Good Luck,
