The easiest is (IMHO) to use the geometry package:

\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{letterpaper,left=40mm,right=30mm}

If the geometry package is not installed on your computer,
it can be found on CTAN in  macros/latex/contrib/supported/geometry,
where your nearest CTAN mirror definitely is
ftp://ctan.unsw.edu.au/tex-archive .
