Footnotes not aligned with Body Text

Post by edwardkung »

Hi everyone. This is my first post.

I'm having trouble getting the width of my footnote area to be aligned with my body text. As of right now, the footnotes begin about half an inch to the left of where my body text begins, and they end about half an inch to the right of where the body text ends.

Here's my preamble

Code: Select all

\documentclass[letterpaper, 12pt,leqno,fleqn]{article}

\usepackage{multicol}
\usepackage{ntheorem}
\usepackage{graphics}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amsxtra}
\usepackage{amstext}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{latexsym}
\usepackage{dsfont}
\usepackage{array}
\usepackage{ctable}
\usepackage{natbib}
\usepackage{pdflscape}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{enumerate}
\usepackage{colortbl}
\usepackage{caption}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage[flushmargin, bottom]{footmisc}
\usepackage{fullpage}
\usepackage{verbatim}

\addtolength{\oddsidemargin}{-.4in}
\addtolength{\evensidemargin}{-.4in}
\addtolength{\textwidth}{0.8in}

\newtheorem{lemma}{Lemma}
\newtheorem{theorem}{Theorem}
\newtheorem{definition}{Definition}
\newtheorem{proposition}{Proposition}
\newtheorem{assumption}{Assumption}

\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{1.25}
\DeclareMathOperator*{\argmax}{argmax}

\renewcommand{\labelenumi}{\arabic{enumi}.}
\renewcommand{\labelenumii}{\arabic{enumi}.\arabic{enumii}}

\newcommand{\eps}{\varepsilon}
\renewcommand{\(}{\big(}
\renewcommand{\)}{\big)}

\newcolumntype{x}[1]{%
>{\raggedleft\hspace{0pt}}p{#1}}%

\newcommand{\tn}{\tabularnewline}
\newcommand{\mc}{\multicolumn}
Anyone have any idea what's going on?

Also, I tried commenting out the \addtolength commands in the middle of the preamble but it doesn't help.

Recommended reading 2024:

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

It works for me; everything is flush, as it should be. I suspect your example is insufficient to show us the problem (or, indeed, anything at all, since it isn't a WORKING example and it isn't MINIMAL).
