Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ change top and bottom margin

[manojg]

Hello,

I want to change the top and bottom margin of a particular page. I can change the left and right margin by using

Code: Select all

\advance\leftskip-2cm
\advance\rightskip-2cm

But this does not work for top and bottom margin. Actually, I want to fit two tables in one page by reducing the top and bottom margin. These two tables are little bit larger than a single page.

Any suggestion will be helpful.

Thanks,

I would always use the geometry package to change margins instead of low-level commands.

For this case, it provides the commands \newgeometry and \restoregeometry, which are explained in the geometry manual.

Hi Stefan,

Thanks for quick reply. I tried but I got this error:

Code: Select all

Undefined control sequence.
l.51 	\newgeometry
                  {left=0cm,right=0cm,bottom=0.1cm}

geometry package is already included:

Code: Select all

\usepackage[hmargin=1cm]{geometry}

Those commands were introduced with version 5 of the geometry package. I recommend to update your installed package version.
