insert text just above footer?

[Bil Kleb]

Hi,

I've been using \enlargethispage{-2cm} to reserve space
at the bottom of the front page for a publication note
(just above the footer).

Now I want to typeset the publication note, but I haven't
been able to crack the \new\insert mystery. Is there some
other mechanism I should be pursuing?

Thanks,

Put the text *in* the footer (define e.g. with fancyhdr a pagestyle
firstpage and use \thispagestyle{firstpage}). Use
\raisebox{1cm}[0pt][0pt]{text} to raise it.

Or insert the text at the start of the firstpage and use
\raisebox{\dimexpr -\textheight+2cm\relax}[0pt][0pt]{text} to move
it down.

This is as far as I've gotten,

\documentclass{article}
\makeatletter
\newcommand{\pubnote}[1]{% guts stolen from \@enlargethispage
\settoheight{\@tempskipa}{\parbox{4in}{#1}}
\@bsphack \insert\@kludgeins{\vskip\@tempskipa} \@esphack}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\pubnote{publication note goes here}
Main body text.\footnote{Publication note should go below this footnote.}
\end{document}

which reserves the space at the bottom of the page for
the note, but I can't figure out how to get it to typeset
the note itself!

Yuck.

Why not use a \footnote, with a temporary definition of
\renewcommand\footnoterule{}

(You are allowed to reply "Yuck")

The page already has footnotes?

and the publication note does not have a footnote mark.

I believe I've seen a class file (ACM?) that inserts a copyright notice
using a captionless figure placed with the [b] option. Maybe you can use
that trick?

Not if footnotes appeared on that page?

(The copyright notice would then appear above the footnotes,
which in this case is not the desired behavior.)

The amsart document class places their copyright notice in a way you
are describing. Maybe you can modify that for your specific needs?
