Does somebody know how to change the normal height and width of the body of a page in an article style of Latex? So far, I've 8-page output by report-style using two-column. However, the place where my paper will be sent to recommends me to have 5-PAGE. Is there a way to reduce the number of pages of the output? Your help will be appreciated. ------------------------------------------------------------ Wen Ting Department of Computer and Information Science The Ohio State University E-mail: ting-wen@osu-20.ircc.ohio-state.edu ------------------------------------------------------------

Page 163 LaTeX User's Guide and Reference Manual: \textheight The normal height of the body of a page. With \flushbottom in effect, rubber vertical space will be stretched to make the body exactly this height. \textwidth The normal width of the text on the age (when not inside an environment that changes the margins). -- Michael DeCorte // (315)265-2439 // P.O.

In the preamble (between \documentstyle{article} and \begin{document}) put \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{0in} \setlength{\textwidth}{6.5in} \setlength{\topmargin}{0in} \setlength{\headheight}{0pt} \setlength{\textheight}{8.25in} This gets about as much on an 8 1/2 by 11 page as LaTeX will do. I doubt it will get 8 pages of default format on 5 pages though. Hope this helps.
