Simple answer: No, topics in WinHelp, HTML Help and HTML aren't really designed to work like that.
Complex answer: You could edit your topic template to add any element you wanted to the bottom of the page, of course, but it wouldn't really be a footer because it would only be visible when you scrolled down to it -- which is why footers aren't normally provided for in help formats. However, if you are a HTML and JavaScript wiz you might be able to edit the template to create a non-scrolling area for a footer at the bottom of the page as well, but it would probably be a little tricky.
PS: Please post it in the templates section when it's ready.

Joe,
I added a table (1 row, 2 columns) at the bottom of my topics
It does scroll, so it is not a non-scrolling footer. It contains some Text, and a go to top button.
I have an understanding of HTML, but do not usually code it. Still it works well.
Hope that helps
