The manual for the geometry package should be in the docs folder of your LaTeX distribution.
Failing that, one can always fetch it from CTAN: http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/...y/geometry.pdf You might find the ``brotherton'' option in memoir of interest (it was an adaptation of a page layout I worked up when making a .pdf of Mike Brotherton's novel _Stardragon_): http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macr...ontrib/memoir/ If you want a nice front-end, I'd suggest LyX: www.lyx.org William |

This is as good a homepage as there is: http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help...es/memoir.html
Hover on "Documentation" and there's a PDF manual. Or google "memoir class manual". |

After a lot of trials and mostly errors (), I finally found out how to size my page, where the text didn't get lost in nowhere as soon as I added a header and footer...
Now I need to figure out how to use a different font... |

Look at the LaTeX font catalogue for fonts you can use easily with normal LaTeX and pdfLaTeX with a standard distribution (and the commands for doing so).
If you need arbitrary font choices, then you're better off with XeLaTeX and the fontspec and/or mathspec package. |

When it comes to PDFs, I tend to avoid any that are not formatted for the device I'm going to reader it on. For example, I find it easier to read PDFs that are formatted for standard typing paper (8.5 inches by 11 inches) on paper rather than reading them on any screen. One way to improve people's experience with PDFs is to offer different versions of the same ebook, each formatted for a different screen size. Users can then pick the PDF appropriate for their ereader. |

Hello everyone. I just want to inserting that I enjoyed a free site for converting files. As I recall is free and requires no registration. [link removed by moderation]. Supports up to 2 MB of documents to be converted. I hope someone is helpful.
Best Regards. Last edited by WT Sharpe; 05-09-2012 at 12:43 PM. |
