General ⇒ twoside report wont start title on a right page - help!

[cyberbushi]

Hey guys, I am writing my final thesis and I need help: I use the twoside option and no matter what I do I cannot get the title page to have the margin at the left, as it should be. I tried the beginleft beginright beginany options, but it didnt change anything. Here is my header:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,letterpaper,twoside]{report}

\usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx}
\usepackage{float}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage[bookmarks=true,bookmarksnumbered=true,colorlinks=false,pdfborder=000,breaklinks=true]{hyperref}
\usepackage{eurosym} 
\usepackage{listings}
\usepackage{color}
\definecolor{Listing}{cmyk}{0,0,0.1,0.1}

\newcommand{\HRule}{\rule{\linewidth}{0.5mm}}

\begin{document}
\pagenumbering{roman}

\input{title.tex}
\cleardoublepage
\end{document}

Pleas help!

Thanks,

Tobias

Paper and page dimensions can be set with geometry.

Code: Select all

\usepackage[bindingoffset=1cm,centering,includeheadfoot,margin=2cm]{geometry}

Perhaps you should take a look at other document classes [1]. These classes allow much better settings of the type area.
