I think this question must have been asked before.  I am using the LaTeX and
would like to expand the default text width to 6.5in or even 7in on 8.5x11in
papers.  I tried the \textwidth=7in command.  It did give a 7in wide text area
but the printout was shifted to right.  There is no right margin at all after
setting the \textwidth command.  

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
