use "\newgeometry" automatically

[Jonathan Fine]

Hi Jerry

In light of David's wise remark, perhaps it would be helpful if you told us
the problem you want to solve, the outcome you wish to achieve. It may be
that it can be achieved in a way other than automatic use of \newgeometry.

See: https://xyproblem.info/

best wishes

Jonathan
