footnotesheader-footermargins
I have a page built in latex that has a footnote. I am not happy with the distance from the bottom to the footnote: it is too large. I want to have a bigger place to write, so I want the footnote to be close to the bottom.
Also, I want to do this "manually", similar to the way that I did with the top distance:
\addtolength{\topmargin}{-.875in}
Thanks!
You can put your material in a \parbox and use the [b] option to make the alignment point be the baseline of the last line. Of course you should make sure there is enough room for the footer.
\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[includefoot,margin=0.8cm,showframe]{geometry}
\usepackage{lipsum,fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyhf{}
\lfoot{\parbox[b]{\textwidth}{line of footer\\and another line of footer}}
\begin{document}
\lipsum[1-15]
\end{document}
I'd say that you could use \thispagestyle{plain}.
Using \thispagestyle{empty} would remove the page number.

If for any reason you don't want to use the
geometrypackage, something likeshould do what you want.
Increase (or decrease) the
15ptvalue to meet your needs.
