Page Layout ⇒ Page number specification from top of the page?

[avspavan]

Hi:

I am using 'cheputhesis.cls' file for my dissertation available at https://engineering.purdue.edu/~mark/puthesis/ . I want the page numbers to be 0.5 inch from the top of the page on the right side. How do I specify this?

Also, how do I change the spacing between the section title and the starting of the section (as well as subsection)? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Pavan

Hi Pavan,

you could use the fancyhdr package together with textpos to position the page number exactly where you want it.

The other problem could be solved by \titlespacing of the titlesec package.
