[Tex/LaTex] Custom Page Numbering in LyX (for thesis requirement)

lyxpage-numbering

I would like to place the page number in the top right corner of my page (inside the margin). My margins are 1 inch from the top and 1 inch from the right. I can put page numbers in the upper right corner by using a horizontal fill, but I would like the page number to be as close to my margin as possible. When I print out the document it is over 1.5 inches from the top of the page. How can I make the number appear higher in the page?

MWE
My source code for the following LyX screen and pdf is 

\begin{center}
\newpage{}\hfill{}\hfill{}1\thispagestyle{empty}\vspace{1in}
\par\end{center}
\section{\noindent {\normalsize{INTRODUCTION}}}

My LyX screen is enter image description here

And my PDF is enter image description here

Best Answer

In Page Margins set margins to 1 in. (you may need to adjust to get it exactly right). In Page Layout set headings style to default. In Preamble

\pagestyle{myheadings}
\markboth{}{}

Add a thin space and a vertical space if you want the introduction to be a little down.

Page numbers should appear at right edge, starting at 1 on first page.

After that, I believe you can put a 

\pagestyle{empty}

or otherwise, to remove the page numbers...
