General ⇒ Borders of the document

[oltarasenko]

Hi again. Sorry that disturbing you all.

But the migration from MS Word is not so easy for me.

Can you please explain me how can I set page setup (need to set borders (just like in word))
Need to set borders T*B*L = 20mm and R=10mm

How to do it.

Thanks in advance,
Oleg

To change the page layout, you can use the geometry package. Refer to ther users' manual.

Hi Oleg,

you are not disturbing. This forum exists because users want to speak about LaTeX, to look for help or to give it.
For setting the page borders to a certain size you can use the geometry package. For example:

Code: Select all

\usepackage[a4paper,vmargin={20mm,20mm},hmargin={20mm,10mm}]{geometry}

Btw. those values seem small to me. If you use header and footer you may consider to write also includeheadfoot as option above.
Have a look at the geometry manual for further information.

Thanks a lot. Hope I will learn TeX in future, and will help other new people!

Have problems with the package. I am just a beginner in latex, but it seems that packages eskdx and geometry are in conflict

The code

Code: Select all

\usepackage[numbertop,numberright]{eskdplain}
\usepackage{graphics}
\usepackage{listings}
\usepackage[a4paper,vmargin={20mm,20mm},hmargin={20mm,10mm}]{geometry}

\begin{document}
  \maketitle
  
  \tableofcontents
  \include{Intro}
  \include{Chap1}
  \include{Chap2}
  \include{Chap3}
  \include{Chap4}
  \include{Chap5}
  \include{Chap6}
\end{document}

And the output is:

(/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-dist/tex/latex/listings/lstpatch.sty)
(/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-dist/tex/latex/listings/lstmisc.sty)
(/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-dist/tex/latex/listings/listings.cfg))

! LaTeX Error: Missing \begin{document}.

See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.

Hi Oleg,

eskdx already loads geometry. eskdplain uses eskdstamp and this file requires geometry this way:

Code: Select all

\RequirePackage[\ESKD@paper paper,%
\ifESKD@landscape landscape\else portrait\fi,%
tmargin=\ESKD@margin@t+\ESKD@padding@v,%
bmargin=\ESKD@margin@b+\ESKD@padding@v,%
inner=\ESKD@margin@si+\ESKD@padding@h,%
outer=\ESKD@margin@so+\ESKD@padding@h,%
headheight=0mm,headsep=0mm,footskip=0mm]{geometry}

Perhaps you find inside the eskdx documentation how to set those margins. If not, another possibility would be to set those values \ESKD@margin@t etc. by \setlength.
