   Hi,
 Thanks for the answer. But what's strange is that my problem really DO
come from the latex compilation. I'm working with a SUN on which the full
compilation (tex -> dvi -> ps) works fine; and a laptop on which the full
compilation (tex -> dvi -> ps) puts the slide's captions at the wrong
position. If I run dvips on the laptop with the dvi file I got by
compiling (latex) the tex file on the SUN everything goes right. But if I
run dvips on the SUN with the dvi file I got by compiling (latex) the tex
file on the laptop I get the same problem with the slide's caption.

SUN:  .tex --latex--> .dvi --dvips--> .ps   OK
                        |
laptop:                 -----dvips--> .ps   OK

SUN:                      -----dvips--> .ps   WRONG
                          |
laptop: .tex --latex--> .dvi --dvips--> .ps   WRONG

Does anyone has an idea why I have this problem and how I can solve it?
   Thank you,
   Gurvan
