Page dimensions in LaTeX save as.

If I import a doc file, change its page dimensions to 5.5 x 8.5, and
export the result to a LaTeX file the LaTeX file does not generate
the paper size I set. The generated header looks like this:

-- 
\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage{calc}
\usepackage{setspace}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{multicol}
\usepackage[normalem]{ulem}
%% Please set your language here
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{color}
\usepackage{hyperref}
 
\setlength{\oddsidemargin}{0.5000in-1in}
\setlength{\textwidth}{\paperwidth - 0.6000in-0.5000in}
AFAIK the correct way to set page dimensions for a non-standard page 
size in LaTeX is to use the geometry package.  
Ideally the LaTeX output file would reflect what was set in Abiword 
and not require hand manipulation afterwords.
