Aligning Page Numbers

Post by dschneiderch »

What is the appropriate way to center the bottom page number to the text instead of page (one-sided printing, left margin=1.5", right margin=1")?
I used \quad and \qquad to arrange the numbers to "look" good but would like a more accurate solution.

Lastly, how do I move move the page numbers from the frontmatter from top right to bottom center? They are coded into the .cls so I have no where to put \thispagestyle{plain} like I did with Chapter heading pages http://www.latex-community.org/forum/vi ... 47&t=12517

EDIT: the relevant preamble code (not really a MWE) can be found at the link too.

That said, why is \fancyhead considered better than \fancyhfoffset in the previous example?

Thanks

A complete minimal working example (MWE) for your problem here would be much more helpful. Otherwise I'm pessimistic about specific help.

Perhaps that will help? Includes a .tex and custom .cls file.
