Change the header and footer margin Click VIEW > Ruler. Double-click the header or footer area. Press CTRL+A. On the ruler, drag the right indent marker.

Let's start: Open the preamble.tex file, which we have already used in this chapter. Insert this line to load the titlesec package: \usepackage{titlesec} Add this command to specify the layout and font of the chapter headings: \titleformat{\chapter}[display] {\normalfont\sffamily\Large\bfseries\centering...

Standard LaTeX accomplishes this with a two-stage approach. In the header and footer definition, you use the commands \rightmark and \leftmark to represent the current section and chapter heading, respectively. The values of these two commands are overwritten whenever a chapter or section command is processed.

It can also be achieved using the provided \geometry{<geometry settings>} command in the document preamble, or change mid-document using \newgeometry{<geometry settings>} . See the package documentation for more information on the page dimensions and how to change the layout.

The declaration \maketitle goes at the top of the document (just after the \begin{document} statement). \author{text} Author of document. \title{text} Title of document.

The ideal way to add chapters to your LaTeX document while writing a book is by creating a separate file for each chapter. These individual chapter files do not need a preamble. All you need to add at the beginning of each chapter file is the name of the chapter using the \chapter{..} command.

Here's an example in which I show two methods. A simple \chapter command in the \frontmatter will not give a numbering and correctly set the header. If you want the unnumbered chapter in the \mainmatter , then you can use an explicit \chaptermark command.
