Re: Two boxes

[Matthias Teege]

Moin,

Thank you for the quick answer. The code works great. I have still
another problem. I want to place a short text at the top/left corner
of the boxes.

Further more i would like to place a single line of text near (4mm)
the bottom of the page and would be happy if somebody could help me
again.

Thanks
Matthias
