changing top margin on first page only

Post by dmt »

I'm using the geometry package to set the margins. I know I can use the option top= to set the top margin, but I would like a different top margin for the first page than the rest of the pages.

What would be easiest way to do this?

Just use the \vspace*{…} command. It is recommendable to insert a multiple of the length \baselineskip.

Code: Select all

\vspace*{3\baselineskip}
Insert this line at the according place in your source.


Best regards

Another option could be the use of the \changepage command provided by the chngpage package (documentation at the end of the .sty file itself).
