Hi Javier,


you could use gmeometric or an margin environment of your document class, like the addmargin environment of KOMA-classes. Or use \makebox or for instance the textpos package.

thanks I tried but it didn't work. I did:


\begin{titlepage}
\thispagestyle{empty}
\advance\textheight 3.4cm\relax
\onecolumn
\newpage
\advance\footskip-1.7cm
\geometry{hmargin=1.2cm,vmargin=1cm}
\clearpage

\title.....

\end{titlepage}

Hi,

you could use the adjustwidth environment provided by the changepage package. Take a look at the following simple example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{changepage}
\usepackage{lipsum}% just to automatically generate some text

\begin{document}

\begin{titlepage}
\thispagestyle{empty}
  \begin{adjustwidth}{-2cm}{-2cm}
    \lipsum[1-5]
  \end{adjustwidth}
\end{titlepage}
\clearpage

\lipsum[1-20]
\end{document} 

The package documentation can be found in the file changepage.sty itself.

Hi,

I had the same problem and found this "old" post and I can tell that with changepage works great. I have been able to change both top margin and text height. Thank you for the information

At the time this thread was originated, the geometry package didn't allow to change the page dimensions within the document. Since version 5 it does.
