I am trying to port a titlepage format to Latex (done by pasteup
before) in which I need to get text about 0.5in from the bottom of the
page. However, I want to do it ONLY on the first page, and then have
a more normal 1,0in margin on the bottom of all following pages. I
have successfully moved text above the top margin of the page by
using \vspace*{-0.5in}, for example - this moves the text 1/2in above
the nominal top margin. I get what I want (on 11in paper) by simply
defining the textheight to be 10" instead of the usual 9" (if I have a
1in margin), but if I do this globally it makes all the pages 10in.
Is there some way of effectively defeating the \textheight
for a single page?
