How do I fix problem with layout of tables and text in LaTeX?

Question

Hi,

my problem is that my full tables and text are coming about 15 cm away from left side, so my text has very little space on right side, about 3 cm.

How can I change my text and tables to start from 5 cm away from left and 5 cm before right side?

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}      
\usepackage{graphics} 
\usepackage{color}                  
\usepackage{hyperref}              
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{longtable}
\usepackage{fullpage}
\usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}

\oddsidemargin 0cm
\evensidemargin 0cm

\pagestyle{fancy}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0.0pt}
\lfoot{%(full_name)s/%(emp_id)s/\thepage}
\cfoot{}

\topmargin -2.5cm
\parindent 0cm
\textheight 27.5cm
\parskip 3mm

\begin{document}

\fontencoding{\encodingdefault}
\renewcommand{\familydefault}{\sfdefault}
\fontshape{\shapedefault}
\selectfont

Thanks

I would recommend you to have a look at the geometry package.

This package can be used in the following way for instance:

\usepackage[left=1in]{geometry}.
