Page Layout ⇒ Change margins of an arbitrary page

[seron]

I'm writing a thesis and would like to have different margins for the title page than the rest of the document. How could I change all four margings on the first page (or an arbitrary page)?

For the document type, I'm using

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}

I'v had some success in changing the left/right margins using a new environment, but I was not able to change the bottom margin (my attempts are marked with <--- below:

Code: Select all

\newenvironment{changemargin}[2]{
	\begin{list}{}{
		\setlength{\topsep}{0pt}
		\setlength{\leftmargin}{#1}
		\setlength{\rightmargin}{#2}
		\setlength{\listparindent}{\parindent}
		\setlength{\itemindent}{\parindent}
		\setlength{\parsep}{\parskip}
		\addtolength{\textheight}{2cm}% <---
		\setlength{\footskip}{0pt}% <---
		}
		\item[]
	}
	{\end{list}
	}

I found the above piece of code here and am not sure how it works. I'm a beginner with LaTeX.

Hi,

the chngpage package can be useful for you; the documentation can be found in he changpage.sty file itself.
