Page Layout ⇒ margins in memoir package

[siam]

Hi,

I write a article used memoir package. Unluckily I have a problem with setup a margins. I need to set: top, lower, right margins = 2.5cm and left margin = 3cm. Page size is A4 format.

Can anyone help me? I read the manual for this package, but I lose - how can I do it. I don't need any "margin note", and anything else.
I need to have only: 3 cm left margin, 15.5 cm text, 2.5 cm right margin.

Hi siam,

If you are using the oneside option, the code would be like the following:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[oneside,a4paper]{memoir}

\usepackage{lipsum} % dummy text

\setlrmarginsandblock{3cm}{2.5cm}{*}
\setulmarginsandblock{2.5cm}{2.5cm}{*}
\checkandfixthelayout

\begin{document}

\lipsum
\lipsum

\end{document}

The default option is twoside. Rather than left/right margins, normally one would set up the outer/inner, or fore-edge/spine, margins:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper]{memoir}

\usepackage{lipsum} % dummy text

\setlrmarginsandblock{3cm}{2.5cm}{*}
\setulmarginsandblock{2.5cm}{2.5cm}{*}
\checkandfixthelayout

\begin{document}

\lipsum
\lipsum

\end{document}

But if you still want to have fixed left/right margins, try the following:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper]{memoir}

\usepackage{lipsum} % dummy text

\setlrmarginsandblock{3cm}{2.5cm}{*}
\setulmarginsandblock{2.5cm}{2.5cm}{*}
\checkandfixthelayout
\setlength{\evensidemargin}{\oddsidemargin}

\begin{document}

\lipsum
\lipsum

\end{document}

Thank you very much Keta. It's working! I don't know, why I didn't solve this by myself. It seemed to me that I tried this solution, but I'm had to do something wrongly.
