Thanks Andre and Evita
I had already played a little bit with the parametres \[vh]offset and
\[vh]size .
But the \advance\[hv]size did help me (what is the very fonction of
\advance ? )
I don't use pdf format but will let this stay here since I think it
can't be bad.
My problem still stay unsolved : when formatting to \hsize=210mm
\vsize=297mm, and playing with the offsets,
- the correct top margin watched with ghostView is printed but far
smaller
- I can't have my footnote printed nor seen with gv (it remains far
below )
