Sorry, I got a bit mixed up with the abstract of the geometry package.

Stengel's suggestion indeed works:

\usepackage{geometry} in MyPreamble.sty
\geometry{paperheight=11in,paperwidth=8.5in,top=0.5in,bottom=0.5in, 
left=0.5in,right=0.5in} in the preamble of the document in question and 
which I can turn on/off.

What I am curious about is what, instead, to write after the 
\begin{document}—just for the sake, as I said, of esthetic consistency 
since all my document-dependent renewcommands are there.

Of course, one way to be consistent would be to move all the 
renewcommands before the \begin{document}. But esthetically, I find that 
a bit less pleasing.
