Margins are shorter on one side than the other

Post by DMOC »

Hi everyone,

I am enjoying the use of TeXShop so far, but I can't figure out how to change my document settings so that the margins are even. When I preview documents and print them out, the margin on the left side is smaller/shorter than the one on the right side. I am using almost entirely default settings here as I have just used TeXShop for a short while. I used the "LaTeX template" to start my document, if that matters.

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

The behaviour you describe is quite normal (from the typographical point of view) and has nothing to do with your editor. The geometry package provides a remedy. Details in the package manual and via forum search.
