There are very often questions about the geometry package. Why don't you
use typearea.sty? There you don't have to mess around with margins,
footheights etc. pp because all these parameters are calclated using
typographical guidelines, which aim to achive an aesthetic typearea with
respect to the geometry of the page. If your are interested why these
guidelines where once established, why there are important--though even
some publishers are not following them anymore-- I suggest to read the
corresponding part of the Koma-script documentation (page 17 in
scrguien.pdf)
