Page Layout

Hi,

I need a special format for the page containing the abstract of my PhD thesis. First the abstract itself. Then, on tho bottom, a line with the keywords.

Right now I do this by using \vspace before the Keywords. But it is inconvenient because when I modify the abstract it does not fit anymore. Is there some way to indicate that a paragraph (the "keywords" paragraph) should end at the bottom of the page?

Thanks!

I am not entirely sure what you want. But if I am thinking correctly, \vfill will solve your problem. Use \vfill instead of \vspace.

Hi,

Thanks for the answer.

/vfill worked. But if you are not sure for the question, I am not sure for the answer...

I hope it is doing what I wanted it to. In any case, it seems to work by now, the keywords appear at the bottom of the page.
