[Tex/LaTex] Text missing from top of page: margins

marginspage-breakingpdftex

When building and viewing LaTeX > PDF on TeXnic Centre, I am having run-over paragraphs missing the first line of text.

(by run-over I mean paragraphs that move onto a new page due to a pagebreak – automatic or manual, without change of chapter)

For instance, see below

missing text

How can I go about specifying that there should be white space at the top of such pages?

Edit: packages, etc. are

\documentclass[a4paper,twoside,10pt]{report}


%% Language %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\usepackage[hypertex]{hyperref}
\usepackage[USenglish]{babel} %francais, polish, spanish, ...
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage[ansinew]{inputenc}
\usepackage{lmodern} %Type1-font for non-english texts and characters

%% Packages for Graphics & Figures %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\usepackage{graphicx} %%For loading graphic files

Without a MWE, I could only speculate, but in order for me to re-create the top being cut off, I had to set the top margin to a negative value in the article class.

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[top = (desired length)in]{geometry}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
\lipsum[5]
\end{document}

With the option `[top = -.5in], the output was

Set to 0in it wasn't cut off

Finally set to .5in, the output was

[Tex/LaTex] “Bleed” text into the page margins

It can depend on where you need to do this, but the standard methods for keeping text together should work for you:

aaa bbb ccc ddd~eee~fff ...

aaa bbb ccc \mbox{ddd eee fff} ...

Under no circumstances will ddd eee fff ever break, so you can write the entire organisation name with \mbox and it should do what you want.

Do you want to do this only for your "quad"-frame or globally? For only this special frame, a quick hack would be to simply insert \vspace{}

\documentclass[t]{beamer}

\setbeamersize{text margin left=0.5em, text margin right=0.5em}
\setbeamertemplate{frametitle}{\color{black}\bfseries\insertframetitle\par\vskip-6pt\hrulefill}

\newcommand\FourQuad[4]{
        \vspace*{-0.2cm}
    \colorbox{yellow}{\begin{minipage}[b][.40\textheight][t]{.49\textwidth}#1\end{minipage}}\hfill
    \begin{minipage}[b][.40\textheight][t]{.49\textwidth}#2\end{minipage}\\
    \begin{minipage}[b][.40\textheight][t]{.49\textwidth}#3\end{minipage}\hfill
    \begin{minipage}[b][.40\textheight][t]{.49\textwidth}#4\end{minipage}
}

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}
\frametitle{A frame divided in four quadrants}
\FourQuad%
{First quadrant contents and some more text text text text more text text text text more text text text text more text text text text more text text text text more text text text text more text text text text}%
{
  \centering
  \rule{3cm}{2cm}
  A test figure.
}%
{\begin{align*}
  a &= b \\
  &= c \\
  & = d.
\end{align*}}%
{Fourth quadrant contents and some more text text text text more text text text text more text text text text more text text text text more text text text text more text text text text more text text text text}
\end{frame}

\end{document}

EDIT:

To make this hack globally, add the \vspace{} to the frametitle template

\documentclass[t]{beamer}

\setbeamersize{text margin left=0.5em, text margin right=0.5em}
\setbeamertemplate{frametitle}{\color{black}\bfseries\insertframetitle\par\vskip-6pt\hrulefill \vspace*{-0.2cm}}

\newcommand\FourQuad[4]{
    \colorbox{yellow}{\begin{minipage}[b][.40\textheight][t]{.49\textwidth}#1\end{minipage}}\hfill
    \begin{minipage}[b][.40\textheight][t]{.49\textwidth}#2\end{minipage}\\
    \begin{minipage}[b][.40\textheight][t]{.49\textwidth}#3\end{minipage}\hfill
    \begin{minipage}[b][.40\textheight][t]{.49\textwidth}#4\end{minipage}
}

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}
\frametitle{A frame divided in four quadrants}
\FourQuad%
{First quadrant contents and some more text text text text more text text text text more text text text text more text text text text more text text text text more text text text text more text text text text}%
{
  \centering
  \rule{3cm}{2cm}
  A test figure.
}%
{\begin{align*}
  a &= b \\
  &= c \\
  & = d.
\end{align*}}%
{Fourth quadrant contents and some more text text text text more text text text text more text text text text more text text text text more text text text text more text text text text more text text text text}
\end{frame}

\end{document}
