Text is not aligned to the top

Post by rasta1985 »

Hey guys,

I got a problem. I'm writing my thesis at the moment and if I have a page that is not completly filled up with text, Latex always aligns the text to the bottom. That's why I get some big spaces in the middle of a page (see attachment). What I want is, that the text on the bottom is aligned to the top, so that the space is on the bottom of the page and not in the middle.


Thanks for your help,
Philip

It's hard to diagnose what might be causing something like this without a minimal working example of the code you're using. (Seeing the output is not nearly as helpful.)

Try putting \raggedbottom right after \begin{document} and see if that helps. If not, try to create a minimal example document.
