Page Layout ⇒ report | Page Number on Chapter Page

[crdafisica]

Hi everyone,

I'm writing a document using the report class and I want the page numbers to be placed at the top right corner of each page. The command \pagestyle{myheadings} at the beginning of the document does exactly that for all pages but the chapter pages.

Anyone knows how to solve this problem ? Why is that happening only with chapter pages ?

Below I show you all a simple example to illustrate the problem. I've tried to find the answer using the search engine with no success.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt]{report}

\begin{document}
\pagestyle{myheadings}

\chapter{ABSTRACT}
text 

\newpage
text

\newpage
text

\end{document}

Hi,

the first page of a chapter has a plain page style by default. Have a look into some books, you may see that chapter start pages often look differently.

You could change it for such a page locally by

Code: Select all

\thispagestyle{myheadings}

right after your \chapter command, or define it once for all in your preamble, changing plain into myheadings:

Code: Select all

\makeatletter
\let\ps@plain\ps@myheadings
\makeatother

Thanks Stefan. Everything is working now.
