Page Layout ⇒ Why is my footer moving?

[sugarat]

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 move!

.TeX attached.

Many thanks for your help.

Hi,

...Why is this?...

The compilation of your document produces a Warning that answers your question:

Package Fancyhdr Warning: \headheight is too small (0.0pt):
Make it at least 14.49998pt.
We now make it that large for the rest of the document.
This may cause the page layout to be inconsistent, however.

Include the following line in the preamble of your document:

Code: Select all

\setlength{\headheight}{15pt}

With this modification the footer position should be now consistent in both pages, but the bottom margin (that you are setting with the geometry package) seems to be too small; perhaps you should consider increasing it.
