Sometimes the header and/or footer might be included in the text body, and sometimes they might not be part of the text body. The following figure (taken from the documentation of the geometry
package) shows the page layout in both cases:
In your situation, the requirements specify that header and footer will not be part of the text body (to be 100% sure, you could ask to the Institution offering the scolarship).
Here's a preliminary document to be used as a starting point, using the article
document class with the 12pt
(font size) class option, the geometry
package to design the required page layout, and the titlesec
package to define the header/footer according to specifications: I placed the page number in the footer and centered, but you can place it whereever it is required.
I also used the mathptmx
, helvetic
and courier
packages to give you the font combination Times/Helvetica/Courier.
Un-commenting the line with the showframe
option, you'll see frames showing the page layout.
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[paperwidth=216mm,paperheight=279mm,margin=1.87cm,marginparsep=0pt%
%,showframe% uncomment to draw a frame showing the page layout
]{geometry}
\usepackage[pagestyles]{titlesec}
\usepackage{mathptmx}
\usepackage[scaled=.90]{helvet}
\usepackage{courier}
\usepackage{lipsum}% just to generate filler text
\newpagestyle{mystyle}{\sethead{}{}{Name -- Number}\setfoot{}{\thepage}{}}
\pagestyle{mystyle}
\begin{document}
\lipsum[1-6]
\end{document}
Here's the resulting document:
Another option, to definitively avoid using the header would be to use the background package. Here's a little example, using the showframe
option for geometry
to see the space reserved for the header:
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[paperwidth=216mm,paperheight=279mm,margin=1.87cm,%
marginparsep=0pt,includehead,showframe]{geometry}
\usepackage{background}
\usepackage{mathptmx}
\usepackage[scaled=.90]{helvet}
\usepackage{courier}
\usepackage{lipsum}% just to generate filler text
\SetBgScale{1}
\SetBgAngle{0}
\SetBgOpacity{1}
\SetBgColor{black}
\SetBgPosition{\textwidth,1}
\SetBgHshift{-63pt}
\SetBgContents{Name --- Number}
\begin{document}
\lipsum[1-6]
\end{document}
Here's the result:

Not sure if this is the best solution, but the
tikzpagenodes
provides tikz anchors for each block (text, footer, header...) andbackground
provides\AddEverypageHook
to add text on every page. Combining the two gives:By adding options to the tikz drawing, you can easily customize it with dashed lines, colors…
