Why is my footer moving?

Hi all,

I am attempting to make a letter template but for some reason the footer is moving.

In my letter, the first page is fine, but when the text overflows onto the second page the footer is pushed down, halfway off the page body. Why is this? The whole point of a footer is that it doesn't ...

Re: Package installation help

Thanks for your help.

I put the package I had downloaded into /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex and I read something about compiling the .ins file, so I ran pdflatex on that file and it produced a .sty file.

After running texhash it seemed to work.

My document then produced other difficulties, as it was ...

Package installation help

Hi All,

I have just come to run pdflatex on an old.tex document of mine and it is saying that I am missing 'arev.sty'. Seems like I used to have some packages installed a while back that aren't there now.

I am now using Fedora Linux 12 and have TeXlive installed.

I must admit I never got round ...

Re: Problem: Itemize ruining my page layout

Ah okay. That sounds like good advice. I will try converting the document to use that approach rather than the minipages.

Thanks for your help!

PS: Can I still have the central header across the top when using a twocolumn page?

Re: Problem: Itemize ruining my page layout

No worries I don't expect you to invest too much time to find the issue. I've found out the root cause of the problem I think.. It was a false assumption to think it was the itemize itself, - it seems to be the length of the page instead! When I put the lists in it pushes the minipage off the bottom ...

Problem: Itemize ruining my page layout

Hi Thorsten,

Thanks for the reply. I know.. it would be far more useful if I posted the source code. Being my CV it has lots of personal information in there that I would have to remove before posting online, so it's a bit of a job for me to take it all out.

Thanks for the link. The template I ...

Problem: Itemize ruining my page layout

Hi all,

I have a problem that I have not yet been able to get to the bottom of. The problem is this:

I am writing my CV and I have a page with a header across the top and 2 vertical minipages on it to give me two columns. This works absolutely fine, but as soon as I put an itemized list into ...

How to do a simple header & footer

Hi all,

I'm looking for a simple explanation of how to do a centered header & footer on every page of a document (probably using fancyhdr?). I have the fancyhdr documentation but I can't quite get it to work.

All I need is a string such as "RESTRICTED" as a centered header & footer on every ...
