Herbert,

   I am suitably embarrassed. I've done so much of my writing in LyX that I
forget the rules of plain LaTeX. Sigh. It's easy to get lazy when pressing
ctrl-t shows the PostScript output directly. I've learned my lesson.

   I had changed that to the more reasonable 50mm in the LyX file, but forgot
to do so for the .tex file.

   I was using a direct measurement and it was too narrow. That's why the
ovals spilled onto the second page.

   Wow! I've certainly learned a lot through this exercise. And a major part
of my new-found knowledge is that regular LaTeX is easier and better than
working in a LyX ERT box for short, specialized documents.

   I am on my way to finishing this form, with understanding of how to get it
the way I want.

Many thanks,

Rich
