I am completely new to using Latex and I am trying to set up the basic layout of a document. I want to have a footer that has my name in the left part of the footer, some text in the center of the footer and the page number on the right part of the footer.
I have figured how to reduce the margins of the whole page but in doing so, the whole footer has shifted to the left. I want the footer to be centered so that it takes the whole width of the page. At the moment there is a large gap to the right of it. This gap to the right doesn't occur with the main body of the text. This is the how I have it set up so far;
\documentclass{article}
\author{}
\date{}
\title{Title}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
\cfoot{Text}
\lfoot{Name}
\rfoot{Page \thepage \hspace{0.01cm} of 13}
\setlength{\topmargin}{0pt}
\setlength{\marginparwidth}{0pt}
\setlength{\marginparsep}{0pt}
\usepackage[
top = 2.50cm,
bottom = 2.50cm,
left = 2cm,
right = 2cm]{geometry}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\thispagestyle{fancy}
Text
\newpage
Next page
\end{document}

For example:
Note that the frames are just to show what is happening. Remove the
showframe
option to eliminate them.
