I would like to place a menu on the bottom of my master page.
as I create my regular pages, depending on the height of my pages I would like the footer to stay on the bottom of my page without me positioning it.
Sure. Click on your footer element, and in the Inspector, set the bottom position value to 0. Make sure the top position dims so it doesn’t affect the positioning by stretching out the height like taffy.

I wrote the opposite – make sure the top position DOES dim. When you click on the icon left of one of the “geometry” fields in the Inspector, that disables that value. The numbers in the field will turn gray and the field will be un-selectable and un-editable. Clicking it again re-enables it and makes it editable.
The point here was that it is possible to set any two of the three geometry fields related to a box’s vertical position, which are the top position, the height, or the bottom position. If you set the top AND the bottom, the height will gray out and the box will become anchored to the page height, sticking at the top and bottom, and stretching to fill in between. If you set the height and the bottom, then the top will gray out and your footer will stick to the bottom of the page, which is what the original poster was looking to do.

Walter, what do you mean by “make sure the top position doesn’t dim?”

Hello,
I did what you wrote but now my footer starts at the bottom of the screen. When I scroll down it scrolls too with the other elements on the page.
My footer is in front of everything.
Can you guess what is wrong here, please?
Try setting the Position picker to Fixed in Window.

That way, it fixed the footer to the bottom of the screen monitor even when scrolling. That’s not what I want.
I’ll create a new thread with my doubts about this issue.
Thanks.
