Borders around Pages

Post by kielon »

Hi,

I'm a new user of LyX and a new member of this forum and I've got one important question (for me ;) ).

How to make page borders in LyX? I want them to appear on every page I print. I mean something like that shown in the attachment

Reason: Preferably no external links (see Board Rules). Attachments go onto the forum server where possible.

Recommended reading 2024:

LaTeXguide.org • LaTeX-Cookbook.net • TikZ.org

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Borders around Pages

Post by scottkosty »

Hi keilon,

Welcome to the forums!

In LyX, go to Document > Settings > Modules and add the module "Custom Header/Footerlines". Pay attention to the note that is listed there:
Adds environments to define header and footer lines. NOTE: To use this module you must set the 'Headings style' in the menu Document Settings -> Page Layout to 'fancy'!
Package(s) required: fancyhdr.sty.
Follow those instructions. Then in the upper-left combo box (it will currently say "Standard" if you are in a blank new document), choose one of the headers.

Thanks a lot.
One more thing- is it possible to type text into header in more than one verse?
