Page Layout ⇒ ...on available text space

[lnsam22]

Hi all,

I'm not really new to TexnicCenter, but now that I'm writing my master's thesis, I'm realizing I don't know anything about formatting. One of my most noticeable problems is that TexnicCenter is changing the width of the page where the text is written (is that the 'alignment size'?) for each page so that every page is either one-sided or in the middle.

Can someone tell me how to fix this, or better yet, adjust it to suit my liking?

Your description is kind of vague. In any case, this has nothing to do with TeXnicCenter. TeXnicCenter is just an editor for your source document. LaTeX is solely responsible for typesetting the output.

Is the problem that odd and even pages have different sized margins, then you're probably using a documentclass like book which was designed to mimic the way a book has larger outer margins than inner margins. Adding the "oneside" option to the document class would fix that:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[oneside]{book}

If you want to change around the margins to whatever you want, then use the geometry package. I'd be more specific than that, but I don't know what you want to do. Trying reading its documentation.

Despite the fact that you didn't understand, you solved my problem perfectly !

Thanks so much.

Now that the problem is solved, please be so kind and mark the topic (not the last post) accordingly as clearly written in Section 3 of the Board Rules (to be read entirely before posting). Please keep that in mind for the future so that further reminders will not be necessary.
