Page Layout ⇒ wrong header in List of Symbols and Abstract

[nrzzmrd]

Attached is a MWE of my thesis. I have the frontmatter which consists of acknowledgement, TOC, Lists of figures, tables and symbols. Then the mainmatter which consists of an Abstract, followed by the chapters in the thesis.

My question is, why is the header in my 'List of Symbols' and in my 'Abstract' shows 'LIST OF TABLES', instead of 'List of Symbols' and 'Abstract' respectively? What can I do to correct this?

Many thanks!

Code: Select all

Hi,

you could use \markboth like

Code: Select all

\markboth{List of Symbols}{List of Symbols}

I had also tried the code and it worked perfectly.
