Page Layout ⇒ Reg: Footnote in my dissertation

[subash24584]

Hello there,

I am writing my Ph.D. dissertation using Latex. I need a help. I need to insert an "un-numbered" footnote on every page of the main text i.e., Each page of all the chapters, references and appendices.

to put it in other way, the footnote should not appear in the Title page, copyright page, Acknowledgements, Table of Contents, List of Figures and List of Tables.

So, someone please help me with a code for this....

Thanks

Do you want a footnote, or do you want something in the page foot using a package like scrlayer-scrpage or fancyhdr?

What is the basic setup of your document? Can you give us a minimal working example to see which documentclass you are using?

How long would this footnote be?

The above attached file gives a screenshot of my tex file. I basically need to have a sentence appearing on every page of my dissertation.... main text pages.... I will try fancyhdr and see in the meanwhile....

I need to have this following sentence appearing "UNCLASSIFIED: Distribution Statement A. Approved for public release".

A little hint, instead of making a screenshot, copy and paste the code to the page. That way we can copy/paste it and immediately test.

A pointer where to find the used class might also be useful.

I have attached my .tex file along with the class file i have used:

I am sorry for the delay as I had to finalise my document. The text in this .tex file is a random text. Immediately after the "Chapter1" in the Tex file I have specified the code for insertion of the footer. The porblem I am having it is not appearing in the first pages of each chapter, and first pages of references, each of appendices. I wanted to know if there is a way to overcome this. I can send you the class file that i used, if required .

You have to redefine the plain pagestyle like it is described in section 7 of the fancyhdr documentation. Call fancypagestyle immediately after the first chapter is called.
