I seem to be having a recurrent problem with LaTeX - I can't get
decent margins on 8 1/2" x 11" paper.  LaTeX gives me margins that are
too wide on all sides.  I tried the manual's commands and some Plain
TeX tricks to no effect.  I wish I remembered what I did 4 years ago.
Anyway, I could use a preamble to produce 1" margins on all sides.  I
use the article documentstyle.  My installation is an Ultrix VAX
running LaTeX v 2.09, dated 25 Jan 88, documentstyle article dated 5
Feb 88 and TeX for Berkeley UNIX [sic] v. 2.9, dated 28 of something.
I have had the same trouble with VAX/VMS and IBM-PC versions.  Thanks
in advance.
