header-footernewlfm
I'm trying to write a cover letter using the newlfm into \documentclass{...}.
It's okay for the letter but every page introduces a hideous top and bottom rule line. Has anyone used this and knows how to remove?
The example code I'm using is here: https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/15534
The command \geometry, it seems, is already defined by the class newflm. If you do not want that default page setting put
\let\geometry\relax
just below \documentclass{newlfm}
Your file becomes:
\documentclass{newlfm}
\let\geometry\relax
\usepackage[margin=0mm, top=2mm]{geometry}
\begin{document}
\begin{letter}{Recipient Company\\ Recipient Address}
\opening{Dear Sir or Madam,}
Here goes the letter content
\end{letter}
\end{document}
Update Ignoring the commands defined by the document class will certainly cause trouble at some point of time (Agreeing with @Mico). Hence it is always better to use these commands. This MWE shows how to play with different margins using the built-in commands of the newlfm class itself.
\documentclass[a4paper]{newlfm}
%% to change margins-----------------------
\leftmarginsize{0in}
\rightmarginsize{0in}
\topmarginsize{2mm}
\topmarginskip{0in}
\headermarginsize{0in}
\headermarginskip{0in}
%%-----------------------------------------
\usepackage{lipsum} %% to add dummy text
%%-----------------------------------------
\nameto{George Bush} \addrto{\parbox{2in}{The White House \\ Washington, DC}}
\namefrom{Paul Thompson} \addrfrom{\parbox{2in}{The Pink House \\ Belleville, IL}}
%%-----------------------------------------
\begin{document}
\closeline{Sincerely yours,} \greetto{Dear Mr. Bush,}
\begin{newlfm}
How are the azaleas?
\lipsum[5]
\end{newlfm}
\end{document}
For more details one may run texdoc newlfm from from the command prompt and the details of these lengths can be found in page 8 of the manual. I am attaching a screen shot of the same.
EDITED for better solution. Based on what I learned from my earlier post, I realized that if both the \closeline and \namefrom were being stuffed into the same box, then I could force the box width to be \textwidth without modifying the underlying class. I do this by putting the \namefrom into a box of width \textwidth, and just make sure it is right aligned.
\documentclass[stdletter]{newlfm}
\closeline{This should be left-aligned}
\namefrom{\makebox[\textwidth][r]{This should be right-aligned}}
\begin{document}
\begin{newlfm}
Testing
\end{newlfm}
\end{document}

Adding this to your preamble should work:
It is because the class internally uses the package
fancyhdrand this is the stardard way to remove the header and footer lines in this package. The class defines two styles,ltrheadandothhead, this way, we remove the lines from both of them.
