162.0. "Vertical image size?" by FNYFS::WYNFORD (The Rented Loony) Fri Mar 27 1987 08:52

    Where is the vertical image size declared? (by which I mean the
    *total* available area, not that which is left after removing offsets.)
    
    I would like to be able to move the running footers down the page
    and give more room over to the text (to fit better on A4 basically).
    I tried declaring a different offset for the footer (.5pc instead
    of 2pc) but merely succeeded in moving the text upwards rather than
    moving the footer downwards! The calculation at the top of the
    DTP file shows that the size starts at 46pc but A4 could probably
    use 50pc without much problem...

162.1Increase \vsizeCLOSUS::AMENDFri Mar 27 1987 10:233
    You should increase the \vsize which will make the page longer.
    
    
162.2Slight snagFNYFS::WYNFORDThe Rented LoonyMon Mar 30 1987 03:367
    I increased \vsize to 42.5pc and got the result that led to this
    topic in the first place! Instead of the bottom of the page moving
    down, the body of text moved up over the figure title! The running
    footer stayed where it was (on an A4 page, that is far too high
    up, about 5cm.)

162.3It's OK, nowFNYFS::WYNFORDThe Rented LoonyMon Mar 30 1987 04:039
    OK - our fault... we had a glitch or two on Friday which meant that
    my changes were not saved.
    
    I changed the \vsize to 52pc (!) and the running footer moved to
    the correct place.
    
    Thanks for the help.
