Page Layout ⇒ Bottom Margin Extension

[InquisitorMo]

Hello,

I am trying to expand my bottom margin to allow for more text to fill the page (it's a 1 page Resume).

I was able to successfully 'back up' the top of the page with some copied code:

Code: Select all

\titlespacing{\section}{0pt}{3pt}{3pt}
\addtolength{\voffset}{-1cm}

But setting my margins with:

Code: Select all

\usepackage[margin=0.8in]{geometry}

Doesn't seem to be doing anything for some reason.

Any ideas? I'm using XeLaTex

Thanks!

Hard to tell without any compilable code. Please prepare a minimal working example with your code, that lets us just reproduce the problem.
You can load package showframe and blindtext to make the borders appear and to add some dummy text, respectively.
BTW: The key for the bottom margin of the page is bottom

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{showframe}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{bottom=12cm}
\begin{document}
\blinddocument
\end{document}

I found the answer I was looking for HERE:

Using the geometry package easily let me customize all 4 margins.
