Use the crop package. First you invoke geometry, then crop. Very easy. (It should be on your system, I think.) Use truecm for your measurements (this was discussed some time ago on this list). The documentation is at <a href="http://www.ctan.org/pub/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/crop/">http://www.ctan.org/pub/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/crop/</a><br>
