How can I use LaTeX from Python. LOL. No, guess not. Don't know what I was thinking. Thanks for pointing that out. |

Is LaTeX outdated? @ChrisKuklewicz - Once upon a time there was a product called 'TeXpoint' which was a plugin to PowerPoint. You would click the button and a window opened where you would write latex/tex code. I used it just for maths,myself, but it was ok. It worked by making the tex into a tif image file imported to the power-point doc. You could treat it like any other image (move, scale, etc) |

How do I write a starred macro? @PeterGrill - thanks for pointing that out. When I typed in the question in the title several other questions were offered as possible duplicates, or at least places where the answer might be, but the one you listed wasn't one of them. It's amusing that this question is almost an exact duplicate of mine, right down to using 'blah' in a newcommand. Lastly, this was answered in less than 5 mins after I asked it. I love this place. |

expanding variable inside picture environment So while your solution works, it's not optimal. The reason I posed this question, really, is not just to get this fax done, it's so that I know how to put variables inside of boxes, as my question states. So I need a solution that solves that problem, not one that sidesteps it. |

expanding variable inside picture environment thanks for you help. As I said in my comments to Werner, I tried your solution last night and it worked fine. The problem is that my actual fax cover is more complicated than my MWE, containing a header for my org and a top block and a bottom block. These 3 blocks I have in 3 boxes. When I constructed the page it's easier for me to move the 3 blocks around as blocks, so I can move the bottom block up as a unit rather than having to give each component of the block a new location individually. In my actual style file the \makefax command has 3 \put statements, one for each block. |

expanding variable inside picture environment well, it works, but it doesn't conform to my wish to have a style file and a user's main file containing the specific info for that specific fax. Thanks tho... |

expanding variable inside picture environment @Werner - I think that you're correct. I was messing about last night and saw that if I eliminate the boxes, and just use the picture env it compiles. The trouble is that I want to use the boxes as it makes structuring the page so much easier. Do your comments still apply given the edited version of my question? Thx. |

expanding variable inside picture environment @Andrey - Sorry, I thought that was an MWE. Apparently too much so. I hope this one is clearer. |

expanding variable inside picture environment I was told that my examples were too minimal and so my question wasn't clear enough. Hopefully it is now. |

Are all package loading conflicts due to conflicting identical control sequence names? Thanks for taking the time to add another comment, Charles.

Changing implementation of 'draft' option Sorry for taking 4 days to check this answer, but I had to investigate it out using a bunch of different packages and options since this technique seemed to be working some of the time, but not always. Especially not with my class. However, it turns out that I had loaded the graphicx package twice, with different options, which was the reason it was failing. Thanks everybody for your input. |
