Altering Page Margins

Post by QwareeqMathematics »

Hi guys;

I'm trying to alter out the page margins as desired to my work.

I need :

3.5 cm empty space from left side.
2.5 cm empty space from any other side

Surely on A4 page .

I need these settings to be on pages after the Main Matter pages ,i.e.,after the first 10 pages .

Thanks all

Use the changepage package for standard classes. The memoir class seems to have a built-in feature.


Best regards

Could I do that without extra package?

O.K how could we do that for entire document ?

I'm not aware of such a possibility. All concerned commands are for the preamble thus make global settings.

Just use the geometry package.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,english]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage[bindingoffset=1cm,includeheadfoot,margin=2cm]{geometry}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\usepackage{lmodern}

\begin{document}
  \blinddocument
\end{document}
This setup can be used either in single or in double sided mode.

Generally it's not recommendable to change the layout inside a document. Once a layout has been set up, it should be kept.
