Page Layout ⇒ fancyhdr | Page Geometry is altered

[skwateur]

Hello again guys,

I'm having a strange problem. I modified the document margin :

Code: Select all

\addtolength{\oddsidemargin}{-.875in}
\addtolength{\evensidemargin}{-.875in}
\addtolength{\textwidth}{1.85in}
\addtolength{\topmargin}{-.875in}

I've made my footer with fancyhdr. The space between the footer and the bottom of the page isn't the same on the first page and on my others pages, indeed, the first page has a much bigger space..

Do you have any ideas ??

Hi,

A suggestion: you can format code using the »Code« button above the textfield. That would improve readability a lot!

You should use geometry for adjusting page geometry. If that doesn't help please provide a minimal working example that reproduces your problem.

Take a close look at the log file. You may get a warning regarding a too small \headheight. The compiler adjusts this length automatically on the following pages so that the page geometry looks different. cgnieder already mentioned the geometry package as a better method for setting up the page layout.

thanks.

I'm trying to use the geometry package right now but I've got the same problem : the first page always has a bigger or smaller margin than the 2 following pages.

[…] the first page always has a bigger or smaller margin than the 2 following pages. […]

And you have read the assumptions in my last reply? What does the log file (*.log) say? As already requested, you should prepare a proper minimal example to give an adequate problem description.

Perhaps you used geometry but you did not adjust the head height yet.

Package Fancyhdr Warning: \headheight is too small (12.0pt): 
 Make it at least 65.4pt.
 We now make it that large for the rest of the document.
 This may cause the page layout to be inconsistent, however.

I fixed it with \setlength{\headheight}{65.4} and everything is fine now, thanks a lot !

You can do this by passing a corresponding option to the geometry package.

Code: Select all

\usepackage[…,headheight=66pt,…]{geometry}
