Text Formatting ⇒ report | Define specific Margins

[ggyyree]

How to define specific margins for the latex 'report' class? For example,

Margins at the binding edge must be not less than 40 mm (1.5 inches) and other margins not less than 20 mm (.75 inches). (Single page print-out should be used).

Double or one-and-a-half spacing should be used in typescripts, except for indented quotations or footnotes where single spacing may be used.

I use but get very stange output:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,oneside]{report}

\setlength{\oddsidemargin}{4cm}
\setlength{\evensidemargin}{2cm}
\setlength{\topmargin}{2cm}
\setlength{\topmargin}{2cm} 

Thanks very much!

Take a look at the geometry package and its manual.
