I set the margins to 1, 0.5, 0.5, 0.5 in preamble but they are alternating

The following solved the problem for now, it no longer alternates - I can have two versions of my latex document, one for the pdf to be viewed and one for the book to be bound:

\documentclass[a4paper, 11pt, oneside]{book}

Now the pages don't alternate anymore - the margins are always the same and ...

I set the margins to 1, 0.5, 0.5, 0.5 in preamble but they are alternating

My margins alternate page by page - between indented and not indented. It's exactly alternating but I have no idea why it does this?

What is wrong?

For the most part, I can tell that my images and most text DO fit within the margins because if I usepackage{showframe} everything looks correct.

I ...

Want to distinguish Photos from Figures in captions

The answer to the question depends on the document class used. If you're using a standard class, then you could deal with the newfloat package. If you use one of the KOMA-Script classes, read section 15.6. "Everything with Only One Command".

Luckily, I found this post: it IS easier than I thought ...

Want to distinguish Photos from Figures in captions

I use captions with my photos. But it says Figure xx by default, but I want it to say Photo xx. How can I do this?

So it would be for the first photo in the first chapter: Photo 1.1 rather than Figure 1.1. Then if there really was a Figure, I could use Figure.

Is there a table of Font codes or a way to get the code

When I use the statement \font\myfont=cmr12 at 42 pt it presumes that I know the font cmr12.

The problem is I don't know how to refer to many of the other fonts? How can I figure out the code to use?

And how can I figure out what fonts Latex can use - I guess the format font command will help on ...

Text positioning question

Please create a and mark it with code tags so that it can be tested directly.

A line break is already missing between the title and the subtitle. In the instructions for creating a title page , a blank line is added using the \par command for this purpose.

I'd like to suggest you to adapt the ...

How can I align images relative to each other

I have two images on a title page. The problem is that they are not the same size. But I want them next to each other on the title page - I actually have this twice although the second time they are the same height. I want the images aligned by their tops, not their centers of bottoms or just ...

Text positioning question

I have created a title and a subtitle that were lined up nicely until I put the Author line in. When I put that line or even just the two \newline statements in, the subtitle (the line after the title) moves to the left a couple characters. I don't understand why the presence of the 3rd line ...
