margins

Quick question to anyone who has used this LaTeX template:

http://www.latextemplates.com/template/masters-doctoral-thesis

Any ideas on how to change the left margin to get more words onto one page?

Have you tried the layout package ?

If not, try this, but I cannot guarantee you that it will work...

Just put \usepackage{layout} in the preamble, and put \layout where you want (I do it right after \begin{document}). It'll display a page with the margins, and the names of the margins under the picture...

You can resize every margin like this :

Set \setlength{"Name of the margin wo want to resize"}{"length"} in the preamble.

Here is an example of the \layout : enter image description here

You just have to resize the right margin...

I hope it'll work with thesis, I haven't tried yet...

[Tex/LaTex] Thesis template to B5 paper size. What about margins

I have solved my issue by upgrading the template to the latest version, which includes the specification of the margins in the main.tex file.

\geometry{
    paper=b5paper,
    inner=16mm,         % Inner margin
    outer=24mm,         % Outer margin
    bindingoffset=10mm, % Binding offset
    top=20mm,           % Top margin
    bottom=28mm,        % Bottom margin
    %showframe,         % show how the type block is set on the page
}

The class file, that now is named MastersDoctoralThesis.cls, includes the following code, which I did not change.

\RequirePackage{geometry}
\geometry{
    headheight=4ex,
    includehead,
    includefoot
}

\raggedbottom

Finally, I have found some rules of thumb about margins to use here (in Italian).
