Document Classes ⇒ how to set 1 in margin

[tle]

Hi All,

I need to know how to set a 1in margin all around using
\documentclass[12pt,preprint]{aastex}.

Thanks!

I used simple margins sty file found here: http://www.mit.edu:8001/activities/anim ... argins.sty

And according to this
http://kb.mit.edu/confluence/pages/view ... plemargins

just use

Code: Select all

\usepackage{simplemargins}

	\setallmargins{1in}

in the preamble. I've my own share of problems with this package, but I hope this helps you.

Hmm. I missed this thread the first time around. Must have been the holidays.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,preprint]{aastex}
\usepackage[margin=1in]{geometry}

seems to work fine.

Another simple way to set the margins to 1 inch on all sides of the document:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{fullpage}

Not recommendable since the package was developed for LaTeX2.09 thus is to be considered obsolete. Furthermore it is not officially listed on CTAN.

Not recommendable since the package can cause trouble [1]. It should also be considered obsolete.
