General ⇒ Moving page numbers to center, 0.5 in from bottom of page

[jjh]

Hi,

I am trying to place the page numbers of a thesis at the bottom of the page, centered. Right now I am using the thesis class and have the following command in the preamble:

\marginsize{1.25in}{1.25in}{1in}{1in}

The page numbers are appearing at the bottom, but about 4.5 in from the left edge of the page and 0.75 in from the bottom. Is there a way to move it to centered (i.e., 4.25 in from the left edge and 0.5 in from the bottom)?

Thank you.

Provide a minimal working example (MWE) with all your settings. This way we would be able to see what can be done to get the desired result.
