  • It is a class for thesis writing of another university and I Struggle for transporting it for my university. my university has no class for thesis writing. It uses "report" document class and ıt contains "fancyhdr" package. In generally the \pagestyle{fancy} occurs in the class and it set pagenumbers flushed right. But my university want page numbers centered at the head of page.

You should be able to do that with fancy package

\documentclass{article}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\usepackage{fancyhdr} % Custom headers and footers
\pagestyle{fancyplain} % Makes all pages in the document conform to the custom headers and footers
\fancyhead[L]{}% Empty left header
\fancyhead[C]{\thepage} % Page numbering for center header  
\fancyhead[R]{}% Empty right header
\fancyfoot[L]{}% Empty left footer
\fancyfoot[C]{}% Empty center footer
\fancyfoot[R]{}% Empty left footer
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

\begin{document}
\section{A dummy section}
\end{document}

  • I tried it but there occured two page numbers such that one of them is at top centered (which I desired) and one of them is at top flushed right (which caused by "fancyplain" pagestyle ). I want only at top and centered.

  • \pagestyle{fancy} sets the page numbers at top and flushed right. \pagestyle{plain} sets the page numbers at bottom and centered. Isn't there a pagestyle (in report document class)that sets the page numbers at top and centered.

  • I used what you said with the command \fancyhf{} and it worked. right flushed page numbers all diseppeared and only top-centered numbers occured. Thanks for your helps. If you can add \fancyhf{} command to your answer then it will also be helpful for other users.
