Page Layout ⇒ memoir | Page Layout Issues

[conjoa]

Hi

I am relatively new to LaTeX and I'm having a few issues with the document I am writing.

I have managed to add a header and footer to my document, however the main body of the document runs into my header (The footer is not affected). The header and footer does not appear on every page (in some cases this is desirable in others it is not.

• Header+footer appear on title page - Not desired (I do not want them on this page).
• Header + Footer are not on table of contents page or first page of chapters - Not desired (I would like them to appear on here as well) [Ideally I would only like the name and Id number in the header and the confidential and page number at the bottom].

The code I am using at the start of my document:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[oneside,12pt,a4paper]{memoir}

\usepackage{lipsum} % dummy text

\setlrmarginsandblock{3cm}{2.5cm}{*}
\setulmarginsandblock{2.5cm}{2.5cm}{*}

\checkandfixthelayout

\usepackage{titlesec}

\titlespacing*{\chapter}{0pt}{-0.5cm}{20pt}

\chapter{Introduction}
\end{document}

I have written this based on other people tutorials and the memoir guide.

I also seem to be getting a T in the top left corner of my first page. I have deduced that it is coming from between the lines

Code: Select all

\begin{document}
 \begin{titlepage}

as if I enter

Code: Select all

\begin{document}
dd
 \begin{titlepage}

the dd comes before the T

I hope this helps you help me

Cheers

Please check examples that you submit for absence of errors and minimal content. The majority of the packages you load are not necessary for the demonstration of the problem. So please clean up your code, fix the errors first and then report back with a proper minimal example that is compilable out of the box.

Just one hint beforehand. the fullpage package should not be used because in can cause trouble. It isn't needed at all because the memoir class has built-in mechanism for a complete page layout.


Best regards and welcome to the board

Removing fullpage fixed the text overlap issue and defining new environments has removed the T

[localghost]

It seems that you didn't check your new example for functionality. Would you please fix all errors unexceptionally? Otherwise I'm pessimistic about specific help. Please follow the link in my last regarding the minimal example and obey the instructions. And please don't present another example that is full of errors.


Edit (17 Sep 2011, 10:10 CEST):
Your edits don't change the situation. Your example remains uncompilable.
