Before you try this... please read and understand how TeX works. Read my two little help primers ("Paul's TeX help.pdf" and "TeX Coding: Good vs Bad").
One more thing - any reference to Quest you should ignore. We abandoned Quest long ago.
And another... I have the below TeXLive thing set up to render at 3.4 inches wide which is the width of one of my columns in my exams.
\documentclass{article} \usepackage{amsmath} \parindent=0pt \begin{document}\vbox{\hsize3.4in % put your TeX code below % end of your TeX code }\end{document}
