Page Layout ⇒ Index Page Number

[LaTeXUser54]

Why is it that. when I typeset my document, the page number on the last page, which is also the index page, is at the bottom in the center? On all other pages, the page number alternates left-right, left-right. How can I fix the index page number? I'm using the document class of amsart.

Hi,

Since you didn't provide a minimal working example I can't be sure but it sounds like (and is the default behavior I believe) like \printindex invokes \pagestyle{plain}. Should you happen to use a KOMA class you can redefine \indexpagestyle:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{scrartcl}

\usepackage{scrpage2}
\usepackage{makeidx}
\usepackage{kantlipsum} % to provide sample text

\clearscrheadings
\ohead{\thepage}
\pagestyle{scrheadings}
\renewcommand*\indexpagestyle{scrheadings}

\makeindex
\begin{document}
\kant[1]\index{Entry}
\kant[2]\index{Another entry}
\kant[3]\index{Entry}
\kant[4]\index{Yet another entry}

\printindex
\end{document}

Regards
