I always use "vmargin.sty" which allows to define the margins sizes
explicitly, and also allows me to switch from letter to a4 paper with one
command, eg
	\usepackage{vmargin}
	  \setpapersize{A4}  
	  \setmargrb{3cm}{3cm}{3cm}{3cm}
selects a4 paper (default is letter), and then sets left, top, right and
bottom margins to 3cm. Vmargin is on CTAN hosts as 
	tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/other/misc/vmargin.sty
