Putting page numbers at the bottom of the page

[Meri Williams]

Hi

I'm writing my dissertation using the book format and just have a
quick question:

How do I get the page numbers to show up at the bottom of every page,
not just the first page of the chapter?

I had a look around the Wiki and the texnik.de FAQ pages and although
I could find plenty about the actual page-numbering, couldn't see
anything about page-number locations...

Anybody got any ideas?

Thanks
Meri

Normally, in LaTeX and LyX having the page number at the bottom of every
page is the default. You should send a example file to see what is wrong.

Cheers,

You are probably using the fancy header style (which may be the default for
books) which shows the page at the top and only on chapter pages where there is
no page (fancy header) at the top the page is shown at the bottom.

Try using the simple header style instead of the fancy header style, it will put
the page numbers at the botton instead of the top.

I'm not sure how to show it both at the top and bottom if that is what you want.

With the fancy header style, maybe something along the lines of,

\chead{\thepage}
\cfoot{\thepage}

Thanks very much -- the former (the simple style) was all I really
needed, but thanks for the tip re the other alternative too :-)

Thanks again
