memoir | Text outside of the Margins

Post by CharlieMAC »

Hi everyone!

I'm writing my thesis using the "memoir" class and I have to follow an ambiguous thesis format, which says that the title page must have a piece of text outside of the top margin. The height of this portion of text must be 4cm long.

There's also another margin specification for the rest of the document, which is top and left 4cm and right and bottom 2.5cm.

I'm trying to use the package "changepage" (which is compatible with memoir according to the documentation), but I can't get the margins of the title page ("titlingpage" environment in memoir) to be changed. The text of the title page remains the same.

I attach the code I'm using for it:

Code: Select all

\begin{titlingpage}
\changepage{\paperheight}{}{}{}{}{0cm}{0cm}{}{}
\begin{center}
...blablabla
...
\end{center}
\end{titlingpage}
Any suggestion?


Thanks in advance
Charlie
