How do I find out the LaTeX page layout parameters?
The layout of a page in LaTeX is dtermined by various settings such as \topmargin, \textwidth, \footskip, and so on. An easy way to find out the current settings in your document is with the \layout command from the layout package.

To use it, put 

  \usepackage{layout}
somewhere before \begin{document} and then use the command: 
  \layout
somewhere in a sample document. It will generate a diagram with the settings marked. You can change the values using \setlength, e.g., 
  \setlength{\textwidth}{13cm}
