[Tex/LaTex] Move the page number to the very bottom of the page

marginspage-numberingvertical alignment

I need to move the page number to the very bottom of the page, so it scrapes the bottom edge of the actual sheet (US letter). How do we do that?

\usepackage[includefoot,bottom=0pt]{geometry}

If you want a more 'automated' approach, you could build an environment- it still uses \vspace{\fill} though.

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{lipsum}
\newenvironment{bottompar}{\par\vspace*{\fill}}{\clearpage}

\begin{document}

\lipsum[1]

\begin{bottompar}
\lipsum[2]
\end{bottompar}

\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] Page margin taking into account line number

I think the problem may well be that you've specified height=10in as one of the arguments of the geometry package; it should be height=11in, shouldn't it? (I noted you also specified width=8.5in.)

If so, it suffices to specify margin=1in as the argument for the geometry package and to specify letterpaper as an argument when the documentclass is specified.
