General ⇒ How to do a simple header & footer

[sugarat]

Hi all,

I'm looking for a simple explanation of how to do a centered header & footer on every page of a document (probably using fancyhdr?). I have the fancyhdr documentation but I can't quite get it to work.

All I need is a string such as "RESTRICTED" as a centered header & footer on every page. Can anyone offer any advice?

I prefer to use Lyx but presumably I can just insert the necessary code into the preamble of the LyX document.

Many thanks

Hi,

a simple example using fancyhdr:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage{lipsum}% just to generate some text

\fancyhf{}
\fancyhead[C]{RESTRICTED}
\fancyfoot[C]{RESTRICTED}
\renewcommand\headrulewidth{0pt}
\pagestyle{fancy}

\begin{document}
  \lipsum[1-20]
\end{document}

That is absolutely just what I wanted! Thank you so much for your help!
