topmargin on titlepage

Post by malvi237 »

Hello, I would like to increase the topmargin on my title page of my Dissertation, I've tried the changepage package but it doesn't work. I'm not quite sure if I am using it right. Maybe someone can give me a hint
Thanks Malvi

\documentclass[pdftex,11pt,twoside]{report}
\usepackage[a4paper,left=2cm,right=3cm]{geometry}

\setlength{\parskip}{0pt}
\setlength{\headheight}{14pt}
\setlength{\textheight}{634pt}

\usepackage[strict]{changepage}

\begin{document}
\renewcommand{\chaptername}{}
\renewcommand{\partname}{}

\begin{titlepage}
\changepage{5cm}{}{}{}
\begin{center}

\textsc{\textbf{\LARGE INAUGURAL-DISSERTATION}}\\[3cm]

\textsc{submitted to}\\[1.5cm]

\textsc{presented by}\\[1.5cm]
\textsc{Date of oral examination: }
\end{center}
\end{titlepage}

Since version 5.0 the geometry package supports modifications of the type area inside the document. Update the package if necessary and refer to its manual.

Drop driver options like pdftex. Since packages that would need it detect on their own which compiler is running, it is not necessary anymore.


Best regards
