[OS X TeX] Interaction between apa.cls and fix2col?

[Robert Sekuler]

michael:

saw your note on the osx-tex list.  I don't have an answer to your  
question, but was curious why you needed all those packages.  Is this  
your preamble for a typical journal article? For apa style  
manuscripts I use some of the ones you do, e.g., xspace, amsmath,  
amsymb, graphicx; no more pdfsync with Tiger, thank goodness), but  
was wondering why you needed all of them? I use url, verbatim and  
color for docs that I plan to put on the web, and soul.sty for  
collaborations and revisions. As you know, I'm sure, soul lets you do  
strike outs and highlights.

Incidentally, when I went to your website I enjoyed your piece on  
style (writing style).  As I went through the doc I felt relieved  
that none of my verbal atrocities had been selected as negative  
examples.
