+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+

The  \width command  specifies the  width of  the page  that will  be used  for
printing the file. The format is:

         \width{uu}

where "uu" is the unit of measurement in any valid TeX measurement (pt, pc, in,
etc.) or number of 10-pitch characters.  The  default page width is 8.5 inches,
or \width{8.5IN}.  This command  may only appear  at the  beginning of  the TeX
input file before any actual text is entered.
