The length of a line
I want to ask about how to set a length of a line in a document. Is it using \textwidth 6.5 in? I tried to use this command, but if I reduce the margins on both the left and right sides, I have the same number of pages as before.
I tried to use another command \linewidth 6.5in, and whenever I reduce the margins from both right and left, I can control the number of pages. I am but I think the latter command is not effecting my document. Please let me know what is the case.
Thanks
