My document class is article
with a4paper
. The margins that I want for the body are:
top: 1 inch
bottom: 1 inch
right: 0.5 inch
left: 1.5 inch
The title page should have a 1 inch margin on all four sides, but the body of my paper should have margins as specified above.
I tried using the geometry
package to specify these margins. But it didn't come out as I wanted. How can I achieve this?

provides dummy text, while theshowframe
option togeometry
merely frames the page to highlight the layout of the text block and other areas.
