Page Layout ⇒ Remove line at top of page

[k123123]

Sorry if answered before, I didn't quite know what to search for...

The problem is either related to 'geometry' or 'fncychap' -- the pages with the Chapter headings have nothing at the header, but the following pages have a line at the top of the page... How do I remove this please?

Here is a cut-down version of my Thesis.tex

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper, oneside, 11pt, openany]{book}
\usepackage{graphicx, natbib, amssymb, textcomp, amstext}
\usepackage{layouts}

\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

\usepackage[top=2cm, bottom=2.5cm, footskip=1.2cm, left=4cm, right=2.2cm]{geometry}	% shows margins, sets margin widths etc


\usepackage[Bjornstrup]{fncychap}
\ChTitleVar{\raggedleft\Huge\sffamily\bfseries}

%force pagenumbering at bottom/centre of each page
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancyplain}
\fancyhf{}
\cfoot{--- \thepage\ ---}

\usepackage{lipsum}
% generate nonsense latin text

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

\begin{document}
\mainmatter


\chapter{The first chapter}
\section{First section}
\lipsum[1-5]

\section{Second section}
\lipsum[6-12]

\chapter{The second chapter}
\section{First section}
\lipsum[1-5]

\section{Second section}
\lipsum[6-12]

\end{document}

Add this to the preamble:

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}

It will remove the head rule that you are seeing.
