728.0. "Problem with horizontal rule" by MANTIS::CONNERS () Wed Jul 29 1987 15:15

    I have created a personal doctype based on the SOFTWARE.BROCHURE
    doctype.  What I want to do is extend the image area so that it
    looks better on an 8 1/2 X 11 paper.  I've been able to extend
    the page size, the lengths of the lines of text and the length
    of most of the horizontal rules.
                                                               
    Unfortunately, there is one rule I haven't been able to extend:
    the rule that runs below the chapter title.  It measures 34 picas,
    and I would like to extend it to 39 picas.  Any suggestions?
    Is there a way to eliminate the rule?

728.1\physicalpagewidth? CLOSET::ANKLAMMon Aug 10 1987 17:495
    
    Did you change the value of \physicalpagewidth after you changed
    \hsize ? The rule width is tied to the value of \physicalpagewidth.

As you suggested, I changed the \physicalpagewidth, and it worked.
The rule is the right width now.  Thanks for your help.
