Page Layout ⇒ Header in report class

[nenu28]

Hello,

I am writing a document in report class and compiling it with latex or pdflatex.
I want to insert the header on all the page of my table of contents and rename the header " TABLE OF CONTENTS" on the center of the header.
I am using

Code: Select all

\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\lhead{}
 \chead{}
 %\rhead{}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0.4 pt}

With this code,the first page of table of contents does not have the header. The header starts on the next page of " table of contents", Plus le title of the header is not in the center. So, is there someone who can help me ?
Thanks !

Hi,

did you already read the fancyhdr manual? If not yet, have a look, the commands for the header are explained there.

Regarding the first page of the ToC, you could set the fancy page style there by

Code: Select all

\addtocontents{toc}{\protect\thispagestyle{fancy}}

at the beginning.

Hi Stefan,
Thank a lot for your help. The code you sent to me , it works perfectly but the header title still on the right hand side. I want it (Header title)in the center.

I use this commands in the preambule

Code: Select all

\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}

\lhead{}
 \chead{}
 %\rhead{}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0.4 pt}

And in each chapter i put this command

Code: Select all

\markboth{\MakeUppercase{\thechapter. Performance of New Approach}}{\thechapter. Performance of New Approach}

. This allow me to get the header "Performance of New Approach" for this chapter. But still on the right side.
I read the document you advise me but don't really understand much. So could you please try to help me one more time ?

Thanks in advance !
