Hi Miklos, The folowing is a skeleton of something which might do what you want. (I confess I overlooked some details of your first post, since they were hidden in image/pbg attachments; and the three text/plain attachments were empty). First I have created a primitive EPS image in temp.eps: %!PS-Adobe-3.0 EPSF-3.0 %%BoundingBox: 0 0 36 72 newpath 0 0 moveto 0 72 rlineto 36 0 rlineto 0 -72 rlineto closepath fill showpage All this does is draw a filled rectangle. Then I have stripped out most of the detail in your ps_leftl macro (since it referred to things I had no information about), and set up the following troff input file: .nr p_in 48000 .de oldind 'in .. .de ps_leftl .mk temp .wh \n[temp]u+144p+1v oldind 'in \\n[p_in]u \Z'\h'-\\n[.k]u'\v'0.25v'\X'ps: import temp.eps 0 72 36 144 36000''\c .. hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello HELLO . .ps_leftl . hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello hello The BoundingBox of temp.eps is 0 0 36 72 ; the use of 0 72 36 144 in the \X'...' (i.e. with 72 added to lly and ury) has the effect of causing the graphic to be placed with a vertical displacement of 72p downwards. In the ps_leftl macro, a vertical position trap is set for the execution of 'in (to restore the original indent). Maybe the above can be adapted to your detailed needs?
