[texhax] Setting margins

[Jayleen Chiapoco]

Hello,
I am new to Tex so I hope someone can help.

I am trying to reset the right margin by doing the following:

\begin{list}
\setlength{\rightmargin}{5cm}
\item ajkdsfjkl
\end{list}

I am getting error:
! Missing number, treated as zero.
<to be read again>
                   \relax
l.75 \setlength{\rightmargin}
                             {5cm}

Please help.

Thankyou
