I can test on Monday, but I'd be interested in knowing how it behaves
with the 3 methods specified in this stock answer:
http://kb.mit.edu/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=3907057
In short, it's
- \usepackage{fullpage}
- changing the margins by hand with \addtolength
- and using simplemargins.sty in the SIPB locker
If any of those turn out to fail and can't be fixed, I can update the
stock answer accordingly.
I'd also like to know what happens with the current thesis templates
(which can also be updated if necessary, but it's worth knowing what
happens with the current version, which many people may have already
copied locally).
