I'm writing a Statement of Purpose, in which I've opted to leave out the title altogether, and instead put the details of myself (name, program etc) in the header. While this works fine, I have trouble in reducing the gap between the header and the first line of text on the page. I tried using \vspace
, but that doesn't seem to help as I see no difference at all. Also, using vspace
is OK for the first page, but since I should have no idea when the next page begin, I wouldn't know where to put the \vspace
for Page 2.
Here's a minimal document :
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[margin=1in]{geometry}
\usepackage{fancyheadings}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\newcommand{\HRule}{\rule{\linewidth}{0.5mm}}
\newcommand{\Hrule}{\rule{\linewidth}{0.3mm}}
\fancyhead{}
\fancyfoot{}
\fancyhead[CO, CE]{Name}
\fancyhead[LO, LE]{Statement of Purpose}
\fancyhead[RO, RE]{Computer Science, PhD}
\begin{document}
It is my greatest desire ...
