Page Layout ⇒ fancyheadings | Table in Header

[MickiTEX]

Hello everybody,

I've read a lot of stuff about headers and footers now but I just can't get rid of my problem. I want to have a header which is actually a table. Please look at the PDF which displays how it should look like and tell me how to do this in LaTeX.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{upgreek}
\usepackage[scale=12pt]{helvet}
\renewcommand*\familydefault{\sfdefault}
\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{a4paper,left=10mm,right=5mm,top=5mm,bottom=15mm}
\usepackage{fancyheadings}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyhf{}
\fancyhead[C]{
\begin{tabular}{|c|}
\hline
\bf{Bericht über die Sachkundigenprüfung bühnentechnische Einrichtung}\\ Gefahrenanalyse - Arbeitssicherheit - Sachschutz\\
\bf{Barbara - Künkelin - Halle Schorndorf}\\
\bf{12.5.09 - 13.5.09}\\
Prüfgrundlage: GUV - VC1 / BGV C1 in Verbindung mit DIN 56950\\ \hline \end{tabular}}
\begin{document}
...
\end{document}

Thanks for your attention.

There are several issues with your code.

• The fancyheadings package is obsolete. Its direct successor is fancyhdr.
• The option for the helvet font package is wrong. See the package manual for details. You should get a corresponding error message in the log file (*.log).
• The length \headheight is too small in this case and needs to be adjusted. There is a corresponding warning in the log file along with a suggestion for adjustment.
• The header needs to be included into the type area in order to make it visible in the output.

All these issues are corrected in the below code.

\renewcommand*{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
\pagestyle{fancy}

\begin{document}
  \null   % Generates an empty page here
\end{document}

For a deeper understanding of the purpose and capabilities of the involved packages please have a look at their respective mauals.

Alternative packages for page styles:

• scrpage2 (from the KOMA-Script bundle)
• titleps (from the titlesec/titletoc bundle)
