[Tex/LaTex] Customize headers and footers

header-footer

I am writing my bachelor's thesis and the requirements for the first page are:

  • in the header – name of the intitution
  • in the center – the title of the paper
  • in the footer – the town and the year

How can I do this?

I have tried to use the fancyhdr package and have managed to change the header, but that applies only on the pages in my paper, and not to the first page. The header does not have to be underlined. Also, on the next pages, I don't want any header to appear.

This is what I have so far:

\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{report}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}

\pagestyle{fancy}
\lhead{}
\chead{Institution}
\rhead{}
\title{Title}
\author{Author}

\begin{document}
\end{document}

Best Answer

Try This:

\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{report}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}

% \pagestyle{fancy}
\fancypagestyle{empty}{%
    \fancyhf{}% removes h/f
    \fancyhead[c]{\Huge{Instituion}}% Your inst name
    \fancyfoot[r]{Town and year}
}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}% removes header line

\title{Title}
\author{Author}

\begin{document}
\maketitle
    
\begin{abstract}
\thispagestyle{plain}
    Here goes your abstract
\end{abstract}
\end{document}
