Hi

I have a page with only two lines on it. I want the two lines to be on the bottom of the page. How do I do that? vfill dosen't work since I don't have any text above the two lines.

Without a Minimal Working Example nobody can really help you, but you can try to to add

Code: Select all

\phantom{bla}

on the first line and then put \vfill. The phantom text will take the same space as if it were there, except it won’t. This might 'trick' LaTeX. If not, please provide a Minimal Working Example.
