arXiv and various paper sizes

I used \voffset=-0.5in at the beginning of a document to get the text to move up the page. Since there was enough margin at the top, this allows it to print OK on US-size paper without having any text cut off. But this no longer works; the \voffset is apparently annoyed.... more »
