Document Classes ⇒ KOMA - \firstfoot produces no output.

[verbunk]

Hi Guys,

I have a letter that I can absolutely not get the footer to work with. \firsthead works fine ...

Code: Select all

\documentclass{scrlttr2}
\usepackage[english]{babel}

\firstfoot{
  \centering
bla bla bla...}

\begin{document}
\begin{letter}{%
           Company\\%
           Address%
    }
    \setkomavar{subject}{Cover Letter}
    \opening{Dear Recruiter,}
My name is Bob Smith 

\closing{Regards}
\end{letter}
\end{document}

Also, how would I go about defining a \lastfoot? That is, I want this footer on the last page only.

Thanks for any assistance!

Your code works fine for me. Perhaps a matter of outdated packages.

Code: Select all

Since the command you mentioned isn't predefined, a note to the KOMA Script developer may help.

Hey LG,

The problem turned out to be scrlttr2 needed the option [letterpaper]. It complains about wanting the a4 option set and I'm not sure if that's true or not. It seems to work though.

Every way I try to pass that option fails. I can specify letterpaper in the document class but i think it still isn't calculating the typrarea correctly.

This link points to your own post thus is a loop.

[...] Every way I try to pass that option fails. I can specify letterpaper in the document class but i think it still isn't calculating the typrarea correctly.

I can't really follow in this point. The specification of paper size is clearly shown in the KOMA Script guide (Section 2.6 - Paper format selection, p. 38ff).

Code: Select all

\documentclass[paper=letter]{scrlttr2}

With this option the type area should constructed correctly.
