|                          TEXT1 \bottommargin (\bma) COMMAND                 |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
                                                                               
The \bottommargin (\bma) command  will set the distance from the  bottom of the
page to the last line of the text. This command has the format:                
                                                                               
          \bottommargin{uu}                                                    
                                                                               
where "uu"  is any  unit of  TeX measurement (pt,  pc, in,  etc.) or  number of
lines.  The  default bottom  margin is  one inch,  or \bottommargin{1IN}.  This
command may  only appear  at the  beginning of  the TeX  input file  before any
actual text is entered.                                                        
                                                                               
In order to change  the bottom margin from the default of  one inch to one-half
inch, you would enter:                                                         
                                                                               
          \bma{.5in}                                                           
                                                                               
Which would give  you one-half inch between the  last line of text  on the page
and the bottom of the page.
