i'll definitely check it out.  i've been using latex for my slides when
i teach my physics classes.

i thought bill had this problem awhile ago.  our archives stink, so you
might just want to ask him.

if you want to force a page break, which might prevent the bad pagebreak
in the middle of the table, you can use:

\pagebreak

which i think is equivalent to \pagebreak[4] (but don't quote me on
that).
