General ⇒ fancyhdr and APA format

[pepperedmoth]

Hey all-

I'm trying to get running page numbers in the upper right corner of my document. No problem, right? Just use fancyhdr. BUT when I use this to include the title page in my page numbers, I get two page #1's. This is unclear, so I attach my code output.

As seen below, this labels both my title page and the first page of my document as page #1. So far, no anal-retentive professor has marked me off for this (they're all obsessive about APA format), but I know it's coming. How do I fix this problem?

By the way, I figured out my tables problem of my last posting, for those who read it. Thanks!

The document class as the most relevant part is missing. Please supplement your code and you will (almost) have created a minimal working example (MWE).


Best regards

Whoops. That was a mistake in the copy paste.

Here again, also with irrelevant packages edited out. I kept the sample text, just for clarity, and the title page, for the same purpose.

I can only give you the advice to leave the title page unnumbered. One reason is that this page actually doesn't really belong to the document itself hence it normally gets no number. The other reason is that it just looks bad (in my opinion). If you insist on that, just increase the page counter directly after the titlepage environment.

Code: Select all

1
\stepcounter{page}

Thank you! That will solve my problem nicely.

I agree that it looks bad, but it is a requirement. I've lost points on papers for even pettier things. Ugh.

Perhaps the persons in charge should better think about those things before establishing such rules.
