Anyway, if you prefer to specify margins directly, rather than calculating them via \textwidth, you can also use the geometry package, e.g. #+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage[various options]{geometry} Cheers, AK --001a113a9d9c6a9c070505f70fbb Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
