Page Margins and Geometry

Post by creichert »

Hello Everybody;
I'm new to LaTex so please forgive the rookie questions. I've been reading the user manual in TexMaker and do not seem to find instructions about how to change the margins (geometry?) of the document once the preamble is already set.
Basically, to change top/bottom/margins half way through the already written paper.


Thanks for the help
Charles

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

Hi Charles,

you can find such information in the geometry package manual. This package can be used for customizing the margins, it's even capable of changing the margins within the document, you could use its command \newgeometry.
