Easy page width and height changes in Latex

The Latex geometry package

Often, changing the amount of text you can get on one page in Latex is a pain.  Similarly, fidiling with margins can also be tricky.  The geometry package makes this easier.  For example, to make Latex use a bit more of the page than is does by default we can use the following code in the Latex preamble.

\usepackage[textwidth=16cm,textheight=24cm]{geometry}
