Page Layout ⇒ Page Number Placement

[piltdownpunk]

Hello.

I am writing a dissertation and currently using the standard, report document class. I feel that I'm spinning my wheels looking through the copious amounts of LaTex documentation and not finding the answer to what seems to me a simple question:

How can I edit the placement of the page numbers?

The default for the report class is to place page numbers 1 inch from the bottom of the page, correct? I desperately need to move the page numbers to 3/4 inch from the bottom of the page. Thanks so much.

Since you seemingly need to alter the dimensions of your type area, you should take a look at the geometry package and its various setup options.

Thanks, Thorsten.

I think I got it by modifying \footskip with \setlength in the preamble.
