I need to fit a six page document into five pages and would like to increase the text height and perhaps the text width a bit. I used \textheight and \textwidth but to no avail. Can you help me please? Here is the code: I am leaving even the useless in case something might be the culprit. Thanks a lot.
\documentclass [a4paper, 10pt]{amsart}
\usepackage{times}
\linespread{0.5} %interlinea: 1 e 1/2
\setlength{\parindent}{0pt}
\baselineskip 10pt
\oddsidemargin 0pt
\evensidemargin 0pt
%\topmargin -40pt
\headheight 50pt
\headsep 10pt
\footskip 32pt
\textheight 250mm
\textwidth 190mm
\usepackage{amsmath,amsfonts,amsthm,amssymb,amscd}
%\usepackage{makeidx}
\usepackage{graphicx, epsfig, psfrag}
\usepackage{pb-diagram}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{wasysym, auto-pst-pdf}
\usepackage{epstopdf,yfonts}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage[all]{xy}
\usepackage{color}
\usepackage{pdflscape}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{caption}
\usepackage{textcomp}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\begin{document}
\begin{center}
{\bf CURRICULUM VITAE}
\end{center}
Here it goes the text (it should be long to see whether it works)
\end{document}
geometry
package instead of accessing all these low-level variables.amsart.cls
there is a definition for the command\calclayout
. the dimensions are calculated using this mechanism, and there's a fair amount of arithmetic involved, but i think it's pretty clear; at least the names of the components are mostly familiar. i don't have a copy handy, so i can't give details. but if you follow the logical flow, it works quite well. i've added the tag[amsart]
because this is very specific to that class.
