In my thesis, I'm finding footnotes get placed just below the lowest text on the page. This means that the footnotes won't necessarily be placed at the end of the text box (of height \textheight) but on a half-full page will be quite a long way from the "foot" of the page.
Is it possible to make the footnotes go all the way to the bottom, for example by setting the footnote spacing as in this question to a rubber length? I've tried
\setlength{\skip\footins}{1cm plus 25cm}
which puts all footnotes 1cm from the text as there's no need to expand the rubber length for layout purposes, and
\setlength{\skip\footins}{25cm plus 0cm minus 25cm}
tends to cause footnotes marks in the text to be the last line of the page, being especially unwilling to shrink this rubber length.
Perhaps there's something I'm missing about rubber lengths (like a way to make them more or less 'rubbery'?) or a way of using \vfill to position the footnotes?

Add a footnote Click where you want to add the footnote. Click Insert > Insert Footnote. Word inserts a reference mark in the text and adds the footnote mark at the bottom of the page.
In the Insert> Footnote dialog be sure the Location option is selected for Bottom of Page rather than Below Text. When that option is selected footnotes remain at the bottom of the page regardless of which Vertical Alignment is used. It's only when Below Text is selected that the footnote location adjusts accordingly.
When in Draft mode, you need to click on Show Notes in the Footnotes section of the References tab of the ribbon and then select the Footnote Separator from the dropdown at the top of the footnotes pane and format the paragraph to remove the space before it. Was this reply helpful?
It's possible to do with the footmisc package.
You can do so with \usepackage[bottom]{footmisc}
