Page Layout ⇒ Text placed in the upper right corner help?

[rrafique]

I am using following commands in my dissertation page numbering. I need page number in the upper right corner 0.5 inch from the top and 1 inch from the right edge of the paper. How to update the below mentioned command to get that setting. Thanks.

Code: Select all

\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyhf{}
\fancyheadoffset{0cm}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt} 
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0pt}
\fancyhead[R]{\thepage}
\fancypagestyle{plain}{%
\fancyhf{}%
\fancyhead[R]{\thepage}%
}

Can someone plz help me here.

Welcome to the forum!

Did you already read the fancyhdr manual? There are some offsets explained which can be used.

Since you don't mentioned your document class, your paper and page geometry settings, I cannot provide a solution working with the relative offsets of fancyhdr as in the manual. I guess you can find it out. Generally, it' always good to post a minimal working example, which is mostly a guarantee for a solution. There we would see all what is needed to fix it.

An absolute positioning could be achieved anyway using the textpos package together with fancyhdr.

By the way, we are not used to leetspeek here, so "plz" is not suitable here, we speak like normal humans.

Independant from the class in use, you could drop fancyhdr (which does a quite good job for a long time) and switch to the very modern and state of the art package scrlayer-scrpage of the KOMA-bundle.

It has a bit more features in it, but is also a bit more complicated to use.
