Margin text run away using geometry package

Post by yotama9 »

Hello.

I used the geometry package to redefine the layout of the page and bow the margins run away. It is as if the margin are rendered without any considerate of the actual margin size.

I use the \maeginpar command and the marginnote package.

Also, the margin appear alway on the bounding side and not the other side.

Any thought?

Thanks

On my machine the following produce the error:

\documentclass[a4paper, titlepage, 11pt]{book}
\usepackage[a4paper, twoside, bindingoffset = 1cm, margin = 3.5cm, top=1.2cm, bottom=1.7cm]{geometry}

\begin{document}
one plus one makes two. two and one makes three. three and two makes fine. five and three makes eight\marginpar{this is Fibonacci series}
\end{document}

But not in your MWE. Your are not even loading the package. The marginnote manual shows that you have to use the \marginnote command.

Please use the code environment for longer pieces of source code. This keeps a post clear and legible.

I know (about the marginnote). I only used it when I want a margin to appear next to a formula or an image. I thought that the marginnote might cause such a problem so I stated this.
