General ⇒ fullpage & fancyhdr doesn't work well ?

[anta40]

I'm using fullpage, so the margin uses will be a wide/normal one, and fancyhdr, because I need to print footer.
The problems are :
1. Page 1 doesn't have footer (only in page 2)
2. The line "ipsum velit, consectetuer eu lobortis ut, dictum at dui. Maecenas libero. Nulla accumsan, elit sit amet varius" is underlined. I don't know why. Maybe this has something to do with header. Using a \pagebreak doesn't help.

Any suggestions ?
BTW, the .tex and *.pdf are included, so you can examine it.

Hi,

the code below includes some remarks and recommendations:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fullpage}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\usepackage{lipsum}%just to generate some text

\renewcommand\headheight{12pt}%this change was suggested by a warning obtained after compilation
                                                %of your original code. Pay attention to those warnings
\fancyhead{}%apparently you don't need headers
\renewcommand\headrule{}%without headers there's no need to have a headrule
\fancyfoot[R]{\slshape Blah Blah Blah}%there was some redunant code here

\title{What Is This ??}
\author{Prof XYZ, Ph.D}
\date{}

\begin{document}

%let the first page have footers too
\begingroup
  \maketitle
  \thispagestyle{fancy}
\endgroup

\lipsum[1-20]

\end{document}

Please refer to the fancyhdr documentation for further information.

Replace fullpage with geometry, which provides dynamic settings instead of static ones.

Ah I see.
I usually ignore the warnings, though.
BTW, it works.

Guess I need more study ..

Hi,
I have a connected problem. With the following code the \section{Text} is basically on the facyhdr line at the top. How do I put some space between the two? I could \vskip, but I don't think it is clean coding.

Best regards,

Code: Select all

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{fullpage}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\renewcommand\headheight{12pt}

\pagestyle{fancy}\lhead{A} \rhead{C}
\chead{{\large{\bf B}}}
\lfoot{}
\rfoot{\bf \thepage}
\cfoot{}

\begin{document}
\section{This text should be lower}
Bla bla bla
\end{document}

Hi Xavier,

welcome to the board!

Why don't you use geometry instead of fullpage? I would recommend this, instead of fixing problems with an unflexible old package (last change dates back to 1999).

Next time when you would like to post a question, open a new topic instead of attaching to an old one. This topic is of the year 2008, therefore perhaps not everybody would read your post.
