[Tex/LaTex] Adjusting Text Size in Footer

fontsizeheader-footer

Footnote being cut-off at the end of the page, would like the text to be on the same page

Here is the code that I have been using. I have a couple of questions here,

  1. How to reduce the size of text in footer so that it is not chopped off at the end of a page?
  2. Move the text in the footer to center of the page. When I move it using \fancyfoot[C], the page number seems to be missing. I would like the page number also to be displayed.

Please take a look at the code below,

\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\thispagestyle{fancy}
\renewcommand*{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
\renewcommand*{\footrulewidth}{0pt}
\fancyfoot[L]{\mbox{}\\Acknowledgements reflect the views of the author and are not endorsed by committee members.}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\pagenumbering{roman}
\setcounter{page}{3}
\null
\pagebreak

Thank you.

Best Answer

The page number is set at the center of the footer by default. If it is overwritten by \fancyfoot[C], then the page number is lost unless reinserted:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\renewcommand*{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
\renewcommand*{\footrulewidth}{0pt}
\fancyfoot[C]{%
  \thepage\\
  \footnotesize
  Acknowledgements reflect the views of the author and
  are not endorsed by committee members or Oklahoma State University.%
}
\pagestyle{fancy}

\begin{document}
\pagenumbering{roman}
\setcounter{page}{3}
\null
\end{document}

Result

If the text is too near the bottom of the page, then you might want to decrease the text height.
