bottom right page numbering in table of content, list of figures, table and nomenclature

Question

I wanted to have all page numbering at right bottom of each page. So I used package fancyhdr.

I put this at the preamble

%customize page numbering on right hand side
\fancyhf{} %clear all header and footer fields
\fancyfoot[RO]{\thepage}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0pt}

It works OK, especially at first page of every chapters with \thispagestyle{fancy} where I put after \chapter{}.

but it doesn't work at these pages below, table of contents, figures, tables and nomenclature. They are appear bottom of page at the middle. Am I missing something here?

%Table of content

\newpage
\thispagestyle{fancy}
\renewcommand\contentsname{CONTENTS}
\tableofcontents
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{CONTENTS}

%List of tables 

\newpage
\thispagestyle{fancy}
\renewcommand\listtablename{LIST OF TABLES}
\listoftables
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{LIST OF TABLES}

%List of figures

\newpage
\thispagestyle{fancy}
\renewcommand\listfigurename{LIST OF FIGURES}
\listoffigures
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{LIST OF FIGURES}

%Nomenclature

\newpage
\thispagestyle{fancy}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{NOMENCLATURE}
\printnomenclature[3cm]

Answer 1

In the standard document classes, the first page of a chapter is set using \thispagestyle{plain}. You can redefine the plain page style to be similar to your fancy page style, which will make all references to \thispagestyle{plain} be equivalent to \thispagestyle{fancy} by following the guideline in the fancyhdr documentation (section 7 Redefining plain style, p 7):

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{lipsum}% http://ctan.org/pkg/lipsum
\usepackage{fancyhdr}% http://ctan.org/pkg/fancyhdr
%customize page numbering on right hand side
\fancypagestyle{plain}{% Redefining plain page style
  \fancyhf{} %clear all header and footer fields
  \fancyfoot[RO]{\thepage}
}%
\fancyhf{} %clear all header and footer fields
\fancyfoot[RO]{\thepage}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0pt}
\pagestyle{fancy}% Fancy page style
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents

\chapter{First chapter}%\thispagestyle{fancy}
\lipsum[1-20]
\chapter{Second chapter}%\thispagestyle{fancy}
\lipsum[21-40]
\chapter{Last chapter}%\thispagestyle{fancy}
\lipsum[41-60]
\end{document}

By redefining the plain page style, you don't have to issue \thispagestyle{fancy} at the start of every chapter, as is indicated in the above MWE.
