The thesis of my university requires the pagination in the following way:
(1) Pages preceding the introduction (acknowledgment, table of contents, list of tables, etc.) are to be numbered with lower-case Roman numerals beginning with ii, iii, iv, etc., centered at the bottom of the page at least one double-space below the last line of text and one inch above the bottom of the page.
(2) The body of the thesis or dissertation … Each page should be
numbered at the upper right within the right margin…
How can I solve this problem, especially for the table of context, since other section, I can manually create other file?
For example, I have tried this:
\documentclass[12pt]{memoir}
\copypagestyle{chapter}{plain}
\makeevenfoot{chapter}{}{}{}
\makeoddfoot{chapter}{}{}{}
\makeevenhead{chapter}{}{}{\thepage}
\makeoddhead{chapter}{}{}{\thepage}
\copypagestyle{part}{plain}
\makeevenfoot{part}{}{}{}
\makeoddfoot{part}{}{}{}
\makeevenhead{part}{}{}{\thepage}
\makeoddhead{part}{}{}{\thepage}
\makeevenfoot{headings}{}{}{}
\makeoddfoot{headings}{}{}{}
\makeevenhead{headings}{}{}{\thepage}
\makeoddhead{headings}{}{}{\thepage}
\begin{document}
\frontmatter
\begin{abstract}
Abstract\\
Abstract\\
Abstract\\
\end{abstract}•
\newpage
\tableofcontents
\mainmatter
\setcounter{page}{1}
\chapter{One}
blah blah
\section{A}
\section{B}
\chapter{Two}
\section{A}
\section{B}
\end{document}}
This solves the problem for i, ii, iii and 1, 2, 3. However, how can I change the positions of i, ii, iii to meet (1) that centered at the bottom?
I appreciate it if anyone can help.

This is quite simple to do. Basically you just need to use the
plain
page style for the\frontmatter
and then redefine theheadings
pagestyle for the rest of the document. I've aliased thechapter
pagestyle to beheadings
after the\mainmatter
command. This way it will redefine the\chapter
page style only after the table of contents etc. It's an odd format to have the number of the first page of a chapter be on the upper right (usually it's in the bottom centre). If you need the first pages of chapters to be at the bottom centre, just remove the\aliaspagestyle
command. Since it appears you need all pages to have the same header, I've added theoneside
option to the\documentclass
command.
