I've been having problems getting the margins right in my LaTeX documents. I do the following: \textwidth 6.5 in \textheight 8.9 in \hsize 6.5 in \vsize 8.9 in because not using the vsize/hsize doesn't seem to do anything even though they are TeX commands. I've been told that \text---- is supposed to change the margins, but when I look at my DVI file, no matter what values I give \text----, it doesn't change anything but the page size. Also, using all four commands causes the page number on page 1 to be moved about 1 inch up the page but none of the other pages are affected. I'd appreciate any help... Thanks, Mike (I'm using a friend's account...) -- Mike Busby - University of Alberta, B.Ed., B.Sc. Amiga - Awesome Macintosh, IBM - NOT!! INTERNET: charro@eigen.ee.ualberta.ca
