    Welcome to TeX.SE! Do you know package geometry? If not please read the documentation (use texdoc geometry on your terminal/console.

Simply use: \usepackage[margin=2cm]{geometry} in your preamble. The geometry package will calculate all other parameters for you. You should never modify \hoffset and \voffset without serious reasons.

  • @djanahana: It's done. I had a few problems with the encoding of your sourcefile. Is there any place to post the (slightly) modified aesm_edspia.cls class file? I took the opportunity to correct some typos and comment the code (some packages loaded are obsolete).

  • The problem is the code of the class is rather long, and I'm not sure it has a general interest. I'll post it in a moment.
