Text Formatting ⇒ Text at the bottom of the page

[coachbennett1981]

I am writing a book and I need to put the ISBN number, and some things at the bottom of a page. Currently, I am using an \input{copyright} to try to put it at the bottom. Here is the file code for the copyright.tex file:

Code: Select all

\thispagestyle{empty}

\vspace{2in}
\begin{figure}[!b]
\begin{center}
Copyright \copyright\; 2011 Dan Eiblum\\
All rights reserved\\

ISBN: 978-1-4610-9314-5\\
\textbf{Library of Congress Control Number: 2011905974}
\end{center}
\end{figure}

Is there a way to get the text at the very bottom of the page?

Thanks

Nick

Hi Nick,

you don't need a figure environment, since you dont't need floating or caption.

Push the text down by inserting \vfill or \vspace*{\fill}:

Code: Select all

\thispagestyle{empty}
\vfill
\begin{center}
Copyright \copyright\; 2011 Dan Eiblum\\
All rights reserved\\

ISBN: 978-1-4610-9314-5\\
\textbf{Library of Congress Control Number: 2011905974}
\end{center}

Further, you could use \centering instead of a center environment.

Thank you for the help, however, I still have the text at the top of the page. Since this is a book, would it be because of what is in my preamble?

Try

Code: Select all

\vspace*{\fill}

before the text.
