Page Layout ⇒ Headers After First Page...

[EFaden]

Hey All....

I am working on my resume and have run into a little problem I can't seem to solve. I have the first page setup such that it has no header and I just put a custom header on to that page. I then want to have a header on subsequent pages. I can't seem to figure out how to get the layout to work correctly.

Code: Select all

\geometry{	
	letterpaper,
	margin=0.5in,
	includeheadfoot
}

%% Header/Footer
\pagestyle{fancy} 
\lhead{Me}
\chead{}
\rhead{}
\lfoot{}
\cfoot{}
\rfoot{\thepage\ of \pageref{LastPage}} 
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{1.5pt}
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{1.5pt}
                    
%% First Page Style
\fancypagestyle{plain}{% 
	\fancyhf{} % clear all header and footer fields 
	\fancyfoot[R]{\thepage\ of \pageref{LastPage}} % except the center 
	\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt} 
	\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{1.5pt}
}          

Then I use thispagestyle on the first page to clear the header, and readd the footer. The problem is that with inclueheaderfooter the spacing is right on the second page, but not the first since I don't actually want a header on the first. If I set it to just includefooter the second page is wrong but the first page is right.

I have looked at fancyhdr and geometry and I still can't seem to make it work correctly. Any thoughts?

Always the same ...

Sorry....

If you compile the below you can see that I basically have a "custom" header on the first page. I want both pages to have the same footer, I just don't want the first page to have the custom header. I then want to have all subsequent pages have the header at the correct spot. You can see that the vertical alignment of the headers etc. in the example is all messed up.
