General ⇒ Header Problem

[IHateMayonnaise]

Hello!

I am finishing up a paper in Latex that I am writing for my internship and I am having a problem. For some reason, pretty much every other header is left justified one notch. i.e., if I have a header that is right justified, using \rhead{}, then on certain pages it shows up as center justified. The same happens when I center a heading, and when I have a left justified heading, it moves off the screen and I can't see it at all.

At first, this makes me think that it is obeying some sort of even/odd criteria, however the problem exists on 2, 4, and 6, while pages 1, 3, 5, 7 and 8 are normal. I've ripped through my code and I can't find the problem! Can anyone help? Thanks!

[EDIT] As it turns out, page 8 is the bibliography, which is not exclusively written in the main .tex file...so it would appear that the odd pages are normal, whereas the even numbers are skewed (not including the bibliography)

With this poor information it is very difficult to give any help. Please provide a minimal working example (MWE) that shows this problem clearly. Especially the settings and loaded packages in the preamble are important.


Best regards and welcome to the board

Sorry! Thanks for the quick reply. Here is everything that comes before the document:

I will begin trying to formulate a minimal working example, and I will edit this post when I do. Thanks again!

You're specifying the twoside option in your \documentclass line. Are you sure you want two-sided "recto-verso" style printing? Perhaps you meant to use oneside there (i.e., the default option (so you can just remove twoside)). Does that fix things?

That fixed it, thanks!!
