Abstract: This package provides a flexible and easy interface to page dimensions. You can set the page layout with intuitive parameters. For instance, if you want to set a margin to 2cm from each edge of the paper, you can go \usepackage[margin=2cm]{geometry}. With \newgeometry command you can change the layout anywhere in the document.
