I have added a picture of a screen shot (marked over using gimp) to help explain what I'm trying to accomplish. Basically, I want to control the width of my main body of text (which is easy using \usepackage[left=1cm,right=1cm]{geometry} in the preamble <-> red arrows in figure) but I also want to ...

By thinner, I mean to be able to adjust where the text begins relative to the left edge of the page and where to end relative to the right edge of the page. Easy to do for the main body of the text but not so easy for the footnotes.
Thanks

Hi All,

Could someone please help me with footnote formatting? All I need to do is make my footnote thinner, but I can't find a simple solution to this anywhere.

Many thanks,
Angliski
