For figures you can use the method described here   http   texblog net latex-archive layout centering-figure-table  namely  do something like this    begin figure  h   makebox  textwidth             includegraphics width 1 5 linewidth  bla png         end figure    Notice that if you have subfigures in the figure  you ll probably want to enter into paragraph mode inside the box  like so    begin figure  h   makebox  textwidth   parbox 1 5 textwidth      centering  subfigure    includegraphics width 0 7 textwidth  a png    subfigure    includegraphics width 0 7 textwidth  b png    end figure    For allowing the figure to be centered in the page  protruding into both margins rather than only the right margin  This usually does the trick for images  Notice that with this method  the caption of the image will still be in the delimited by the normal margins of the page  which is a good thing

I could not find a easy way to set the margin for a single page   My solution was to use vspace with the number of centimeters of empty space I wanted     vspace  5cm                                                                 I put this command at the beginning of the pages that I wanted to have  5cm of margin

I was struggling a lot with different solutions including   vspace -Xmm  on the top and bottom of the page and dealing with warnings and errors  Finally I found this answer   You can change the margins of just one or more pages and then restore it to its default    usepackage geometry                newgeometry top 5mm  bottom 10mm        use whatever margins you want for left  right  top and bottom            lt The contents of enlarged page s  gt           restoregeometry      so it does not affect the rest of the pages                 PS   1- This can also fix the following warning      LaTeX Warning  Float too large for page by    pt on input line       2- For more detailed answer look at this   3- I just found that this is more elaboration on Kevin Chen s answer

Use the  geometry  package and write  newgeometry left 3cm bottom 0 1cm  where you want to change your margins  When you want to reset your margins  you write  restoregeometry

A slight modification of this to change the  voffset works for me    newenvironment changemargin  1      begin list          setlength  voffset   1         item     end list     And then put your figures in a  begin changemargin  -1cm     end changemargin  environment

I ve used this in beamer  but not for general documents  but it looks like that s what the original hint suggests   newenvironment changemargin  2     begin list       setlength  topsep  0pt    setlength  leftmargin   1    setlength  rightmargin   2    setlength  listparindent   parindent    setlength  itemindent   parindent    setlength  parsep   parskip       item     end list     Then to use it   begin changemargin  -1cm  -1cm    don t forget to    end changemargin    at the end of the page  I got this from Changing margins    on the fly    in the TeX FAQ

I had the same problem in a beamer presentation  For me worked using the columns environment    begin frame     begin columns       column 1 2 textwidth       begin figure         subfigure  includegraphics width  49 textwidth  1 png          subfigure  includegraphics width  49 textwidth  2 png        end figure      end columns   end frame
