Add 'Page' above page numbers in Table of Contents

Question

I am using my school's latex cls file. Unfortunately, since this package was last updated, we are now required to add the word 'Page' above the topmost page number on each page of the Table of Contents. This cls file includes the following bit of code, which puts 'Page' at the top of the first page, but not any subsequent pages (see attached)

\newcommand\chapteruaf{
\if@arabic\relax\else\if@chapterone\setcounter{page}{1}\else\relax\fi\fi
\@chapteronefalse
                    \if@openright\cleardoublepage\else\clearpage\fi
                    \thispagestyle{myheadings}%                                                                               
                    \global\@topnum\z@
                    \@afterindentfalse
                    \secdef\@chapter\@schapteruaf}
\def\@schapteruaf#1{\if@twocolumn
                   \@topnewpage[\@makeschapterheaduaf{#1}]%                                                                   
                 \else
                   \@makeschapterheaduaf{#1}%                                                                                 
                   \@afterheading
                 \fi}
\def\@makeschapterheaduaf#1{%                                                                                                 
  {\parindent \z@ \centering
    \reset@font
    \normalsize \bfseries  #1\par                                                                                             
    \vspace{-18.3pt}\hspace{143mm} Page                                                                                       
    \nobreak
  }}

First page of the TOC:

second page of the TOC:

Any thoughts here? I have played with this a bit, and can't get it to work. Thanks.

A table of contents is often less than 3 pages so you can simply insert the command into the toc file. With the package afterpage you do not have to know where the pagebreak will happen:

\documentclass[a5paper]{article}
\usepackage{afterpage}
\begin{document}

\tableofcontents

\addtocontents{toc}{~\hfill\textbf{Page}\par}
\section{foo}bar\clearpage
\section{foo}bar\clearpage
\section{foo}bar\clearpage
\section{foo}bar\clearpage
\section{foo}bar\clearpage
\addtocontents{toc}{\protect\afterpage{~\hfill\textbf{Page}\par\medskip}}
\section{foo}bar\clearpage
\section{foo}bar\clearpage
\section{foo}bar\clearpage
\section{foo}bar\clearpage
\section{foo}bar\clearpage
\section{foo}bar\clearpage
\section{foo}bar\clearpage
\section{foo}bar\clearpage
\section{foo}bar\clearpage
\section{foo}bar\clearpage
\section{foo}bar\clearpage
\section{foo}bar\clearpage
\section{foo}bar\clearpage

\end{document}

For other lists, eg List of Figures, use

\addtocontents{lof}{~\hfill\textbf{Page}\par}
...
\addtocontents{lof}{\protect\afterpage{~\hfill\textbf{Page}\par\medskip}}

and so on.

Answer 2

You can use the tocloft package to customize the layout of the table of contents, list of figures, list of tables, etc.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tocloft}
\renewcommand\contentsname{Table of Contents}
\renewcommand\cfttoctitlefont{\hfill\normalsize\bfseries}
% On the same line
%\renewcommand\cftaftertoctitle{\hfill\llap{\bfseries Page}}
% On the next line
\renewcommand\cftaftertoctitle{\hfill\null\\\null\hfill\textbf{Page}}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\section{asdf}
\section{qwer}
\section{zxcv}
\end{document}

The commented out line should be used if you want the Page to appear on the same line as Table of Contents and the uncommented line should be used if you want it to be on the next line.

You can also add the dot leaders to sections (or chapters, if you're using chapters) with

\renewcommand\cftsecdotsep{\cftdotsep}

or

\renewcommand\cftchapdotsep{\cftdotsep}

Hey, as it turns out we go to the same school, and are dealing with the same uafthesis bugs! I've been fixing mine on github at http://github.com/jesusabdullah/uafthesis.

Fwiw, I read the handbook, and it says we only need "page" above the first page, from what I can tell.
