Page Layout ⇒ Centering page number

[QwareeqMathematics]

Hi all ;

How to put the page numbers in the center at top of each page in report class ?

[gmedina]

Use the fancyhdr package: the documentation explains how to proceed and includes examples. Another option could be the titlesec package.

I read the file and as I understand I should put this code :

Code: Select all

\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyhf{}
\chead{\thepage}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0pt}

But , It gives center for some pages only, and some numbers come over the words in the document.

In some previous post I move the chapter for the top. So, the number wasn't at the top of page . I need it to be on the top for all document .

How to fix this problem please??

we need to see the modifications you made. Please post the preamble of your document with your particular settings (in the sense of a minimal working example).

Okay, Here is my premable of the test document :

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{report}
\usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx}
\usepackage{amssymb,latexsym,amsmath,mathrsfs,fullpage,array,ifsym,color}
\renewcommand{\thechapter}{\Roman{chapter}}
\renewcommand{\contentsname}{List of Contents}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyhf{}
\chead{\thepage}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0pt}
\makeatletter
\def\@makechapterhead#1{%
  \vspace*{-30\p@}% default: 50pt
  {\parindent \z@ \centering \normalfont% default: \raggedright
    \ifnum \c@secnumdepth >\m@ne
        \huge\bfseries\sc \@chapapp\space \thechapter
        \par\nobreak
        \vskip 0\p@% default: 20\p@
    \fi
    \interlinepenalty\@M
    \Huge \bfseries #1\par\nobreak
    \vskip 20\p@
  }}
\def\@makeschapterhead#1{%
  \vspace*{-30\p@}% default: 50pt
  {\parindent \z@ \centering% default: \raggedright
    \normalfont
    \interlinepenalty\@M
    \Huge \bfseries  #1\par\nobreak
    \vskip 20\p@
  }}
\makeatother
\newtheorem{definition}{Def\mbox{}\mbox{}inition}[chapter]
\newtheorem{example}[definition]{Example}
\newtheorem{theorem}[definition]{Theorem}
\setlength{\parskip}{3ex}

\begin{document}

\pagenumbering{roman}

% FRONT Matter 

\pagenumbering{arabic}

Body Text 
\end{document}

I see also in default report class document, any page start with \chapter or \chapter*, the page number doesn't come on center-top.

Thank you

\chead{\thepage}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}

To prevent a warning, you will also have to add

EDIT: I made a correction here:

Code: Select all

\setlength{\headheight}{14pt}

...
But , It gives center for some pages only...

To solve this, add

Code: Select all

\let\ps@plain\ps@fancy

right after the \makeatletter command.

...and some numbers come over the words in the document...

I did some tests but I wasn't able to reproduce this situation. Can you please provide some code that clearly shows the odd behaviour mentioned?

[QwareeqMathematics]

That works very nice, and the number doesn't come over the words again.

But , I need to put the number higher a little bit, Could I ?


Thx

[gmedina]

Delete the fullpage package from this list:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{amssymb,latexsym,amsmath,mathrsfs,fullpage,array,ifsym,color}

and then add right after the \documentclass[...]{...} line the following:

Code: Select all

\usepackage[margin=1in]{geometry}

By the way, in my previous response I suggested you to use

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\headheight}{14pt}

That's not correct. Instead, you should use

Code: Select all

\setlength{\headheight}{14pt}

[QwareeqMathematics]

Very Nice.

Thank you
