Herbert,

   Something must be broken here. Trying the expanded 'o' approach, I took the
page and margin dimensions from the former file and copied them into the file
you sent. Ran 'latex test-form.tex,' 'dvips test-form.dvi,' and 'ps2pdf
test-form.ps' to produce the attached. The .tex file is below.

   I want to understand why the code works for you while producing something
quite different for me.

Many thanks,

Rich
