Remove margins for title page

I'm using the package geometry to set the margins of my report, according to my needs (with a particularly wide right margin). However, it seems that it affects the front page as well, that is, the title of the report is not centered anymore in its page.

How can I avoid this?

The geometry package provides the \newgeometry command, which allows you to change the page layout at any time. So if you want to leave the front page alone, you could try something like this.

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{geometry}
\title{My report}
\author{A N Other}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\newgeometry{rmargin=15cm}
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
\end{document}

  • If you want to see the changed and unchanged margins, even on relatively empty pages, you can load geometry with the showframe option, which will add lines indicating the margins. – doncherry Jun 07 '11 at 14:35
