Page Layout ⇒ Numbering on first page of chapter

[tipoftheday]

Hi,

I would like to number the first page of each chapter in my book at the bottom right corner (right footer) of the page. All of the other pages in my book are numbered at the top left and top right. Can you help with this? I considered using \thispagestyle but I don't know how I would declare this to only have effect on the first page of each chapter.

Many thanks for your help

Chapter pages automatically use the »plain« page style. So you have to redefine it. You can do so by means of the fancyhdr or titlesec package. The forum search will yield appropriate solutions. Furthermore reading the package manual won't do any harm.


Best regards

I have looked at these methods but have not found anything that will only affect the first page of the chapter?

Then you should be more careful. I know from the manuals that they have detailed descriptions. And I know that this issue has already been solved here in the forum. But at the moment I haven't got the time for going into details.
