How can I keep less blank space on two sides?

Post by anis_huq »

Hi,
My Latex file looks like the following:

Code: Select all

Code, edit and compile here:
\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,oneside]{report}
\usepackage{t1enc}
\usepackage{alltt}
\usepackage{epsfig}
\usepackage[english, finnish, swedish]{babel}
\usepackage{url}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{eurosym} % To get a euro sign: \euro{}
\usepackage{verbatim}
\usepackage{fancyvrb}
\usepackage{supertabular}
\usepackage{longtable}
\usepackage[breaklinks=true]{hyperref}
\hypersetup{pdfborder = {0 0 0},citecolor=black,filecolor=black,linkcolor=black,urlcolor=black}
\hypersetup{ %this creates pdf attributes
pdfauthor = {bla},
pdftitle = {bla.},
pdfsubject = {bla.},
pdfkeywords = {bla.}
}
\usepackage[hyphenbreaks]{breakurl} %for links in multiple lines
\usepackage{enumitem}%for numbered list
\usepackage[sort&compress]{natbib}%for sorting citation
\usepackage{fixltx2e}%super script and subscript
\usepackage{xcolor}%do
\def\SPSB#1#2{\rlap{\textsuperscript{{#1}}}\SB{#2}}%do
\def\SP#1{\textsuperscript{{#1}}}%do
\def\SB#1{\textsubscript{{#1}}}%do
\usepackage[bottom]{footmisc}%so that footnotes r always at the bottom of the page.
\interfootnotelinepenalty=10000%so that footnotes don't move into the next page.
\raggedbottom%Do.
\usepackage{listings}
\lstset{language=C}
\setcounter{secnumdepth}{5}
%\setlength{\belowcaptionskip}{6pt}

Please forgive me if it looks a little more complicated that it should. It looks like this because its a common template for Masters Thesis.

Now the output looks like:
text and margin
text and margin
page.png (135.13 KiB) Viewed 2373 times
Now u should see that, there are too much space on both sides of the text. How may I reduce it and make the text wider?

Bye.

If you wan to reduce the page margins, take look at the geometry package and read its manual.

And please learn how to prepare a proper minimal example to know which code is necessary and which not. Furthermore you should abstain from posting the same question on different sites (see below). This is counterproductive.
