If it's the margins giving you too much white space (a common
complaint from people moving to latex from other types of word or
document procssors), you could try something along these lines:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+latex_header: \usepackage[letterpaper]{geometry}
#+latex-header: \geometry{verbose,tmargin=3cm,bmargin=3cm,lmargin=3cm,rmargin=3cm}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

untested.  change "letterpaper" to your actual paper size, of course.
