I have recently started using the geometry
package to format the margins of my documents. Although, I've noticed that the width of the header/ footer remains the same. How can I correct this?
Here's a MWE
:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{geometry}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\lhead{}
\chead{Header}
\rhead{}
\lfoot{}
\cfoot{Footer}
\rfoot{\thepage}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{1pt}
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{1pt}
\begin{document}
\newgeometry{margin=0.5in, bottom=1in, top=1in}
\Blinddocument
\end{document}

Loading
fancyhdr
and tweaking the header/footer content must be done after any margin changes effected bygeometry
, so thatfancyhdr
can detect those changes. In your example,\newgeometry
after\begin{document}
is not needed -- simply specify the margins changes asgeometry
package options.
