- I had the same trouble for a while until I started setting:
- \marginparwidth 0pt
- \oddsidemargin 0pt
- \evensidemargin 0pt
- \marginparsep 0pt
-
- \topmargin 0pt

- LaTeX uses default values for these things, but those default values may conflict
- with one another if all of the stuff doesn't add up to 8.5x11. Or that's what
- I believe is going on.
