I have been trying to put smal text to the very top left of the page by using the geometry package and setting the margins to 0, but it doesn't go all the way - there is a slight vspace to the right and the top of the word.

Is there a way to fix this?

  You should not set the margin to 0. You should use some other packages instead.

If you want to get a small line of text in the corner of the paper, you have many option (but not by using [margin=0pt]{geometry}!) – in this answer I will show the TikZ approach.

documentclass[a4paper]{article}



usepackage{tikz}

usepackage{lipsum}

begin{document}

begin{tikzpicture}[overlay,remember picture]

path (current page.north west) node[below right,inner sep=0pt,font=fontsize{3pt}{3pt}selectfont] {This is for test};

end{tikzpicture}



lipsum[1-2]

end{document}

If the very thin space on the top and on the left should not be there, you can set inner sep to a negative number

documentclass[a4paper]{article}



usepackage{tikz}

usepackage{lipsum}

begin{document}

begin{tikzpicture}[overlay,remember picture]

path (current page.north west) node[below right,inner sep=-0.5pt,font=fontsize{3pt}{3pt}selectfont] {This is for test};

end{tikzpicture}



lipsum[1-2]

end{document}

or set inner xsep and inner ysep separately

documentclass[a4paper]{article}



usepackage{tikz}

usepackage{lipsum}

begin{document}

begin{tikzpicture}[overlay,remember picture]

path (current page.north west) node[below right,inner xsep=-0.5pt, inner ysep=-0.4pt,font=fontsize{3pt}{3pt}selectfont] {This is for test};

end{tikzpicture}



lipsum[1-2]

end{document}

However, for readability, I suggest you should not remove that very thin space.

  Works well, thanks! The reason why I was doing it with margins is that there was only going to be phrase in the entirety of the document - it's for a puzzle that I am creating.
