I'm using the package fancyhdr
to format my footers and headers, with my name in the header and a n of m pages format for the footer. Like so:
\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyhf{} % clear all header and footer fields
\fancyhead[C]{Name}
\fancyfoot[C]{\footnotesize Page \thepage\ of \pageref{LastPage}}
By default, the fancy page style only affects the pages after the first page. I know I can set the first page to the fancy page style using \thispagestyle
, but I only want the first page to use the footer, not the header. Is there a way to create a custom style that just the first page will use?
Best Answer
The
\fancypagestyle
command can be used to create custom styles:Then just use
\thispagestyle{firststyle}
on the first page, immediately after\maketitle
(if that is used).
