[comp.text] A question regarding LaTex

bozkus@frith.egr.msu.edu (Zafer Bozkus) (10/11/90)

Hi, 
I have recently started learning Latex to write my dissertation. One of
the format
requirements at my school is that the page number  be located at the
center of the
page (at the top also). I could not find any command to accomplish that
in my book
written by Leslie Lamport. Could anybody help me on this? Thanks in advance.

You can make almost any page header and/or footer layout by using my
'fancyheadings' style option.

How to get fancyheadings.doc and fancyheadings.sty from the archive at
	Dept. of Computer Science, Utrecht University:

NOTE: In the following I have assumed your mail address is john@highbrow.edu.

    Of course you must substitute your own address for this. This should be
    a valid internet or uucp address. For bitnet users name@host.BITNET
    usually works.  

by FTP: (please restrict access to weekends or evening/night (i.e. between
about 20.00 and 0900 UTC).

    ftp archive.cs.ruu.nl [131.211.80.5]
    user name: anonymous or ftp
    password: your own email address (e.g. john@highbrow.edu)
    cd /pub
    don't forget to set binary mode if the file is a tar/arc/zoo archive,
    compressed or in any other way contains binary data.
    get TEX/latexstyle/fancyheadings.doc
    get TEX/latexstyle/fancyheadings.sty

by mail-server:

send the following message to
mail-server@cs.ruu.nl (or uunet!mcsun!hp4nl!ruuinf):

    begin
    path john@highbrow.edu
    send TEX/latexstyle/fancyheadings.doc
    send TEX/latexstyle/fancyheadings.sty
    end

The path command can be deleted if we receive a valid from address in your
message. If this is the first time you use our mail server, we suggest you
first issue the request:
    send HELP
