I had the same trouble for a while until I started setting:
\marginparwidth 0pt
\oddsidemargin 0pt
\evensidemargin 0pt
\marginparsep 0pt
\topmargin 0pt
LaTeX uses default values for these things, but those default values may conflict
with one another if all of the stuff doesn't add up to 8.5x11. Or that's what
I believe is going on.
