[S_David]

Hello,

How to control the margins of a page from the left, right, top, and bottom?

Hi,

I recommend to use the geometry package, follow the link to get the documentation or use texdoc, type

Code: Select all

texdoc geometry

on the command line on your computer.
geometry provides a flexible interface to customize the page layout including the margins.

Thanks for replying. But how to use this package? and How to apply a specific margins for a specific page, i.e.: not global setting?

That's explained in the geometry manual which you can access like Stefan already described.

Try the package in combination with gmeometric.

Note that changing the layout of a single page distorts the total appearance of the document. If you would describe what you are aiming at, there may be alternative solutions.

I want the top margin in the cover page to be 5 cm, while in all other pages 2.5 cm.

All right, then. Nothing special. The manuals of the above mentioned packages show explicitly how to do that.

Ok, I will search the manual for that. I think it is straightforward, but I don't know how.

Thanks anyway

you can use \vspace*{5cm}.
