1. Two words in the main text (both "influenced") actually intrude into the sidebar.
1a. One word in the sidebar ("influencing") overflows the dimensions of the background. (but see 3 below.)
I tried your example as sent, and I had no margin intrusions--are you having hyphenation problems? Is cmr still your default font? (Or are you perhaps using UK hyphenation rules?)
2. If I specify a background screen and a frame with rounded corners the background remains rectangular and does not round to match the frame.
I noticed that too. It seems a feature interaction with corner rounding-- I suspect they were never intended to go together. You'll probably need to get into MetaPost for proper fancy bordering.
4. The sidebar in the original test example goes out almost to the very edge of the paper. Printers don't like this :-) I will play with page layout dimensions a bit to see if I can fix this.
Yeah, I just went with the default margins/layout and turned on the page frames to more clearly/minimally illustrate the example. This *ought* to work with any sane layout... -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.
