This is strange. I use memoir all the time and \pagestyle works as
expected. Can you post a minimal example exhibiting the behavior
you're describing?

Cheers,

I tried using the command \pagestyle in the preamble and it didn't work.
Using the page layout in Document > Settings didn't work either.

I even tried removing everything else from the preamble, but it always use
the plain style (header is empty and footer contains only the page number,
which is shown only on the first page of every part or chapter)


Cheers,

Fabio.

Exactly, memoir implements its own version of the fancyhdr package, so
you should use memoir facilities (in the preamble, or in a separate
config file you would load in your preamble). You may want to take a
look at section 7.2 of the memoir manual for a detailed discussion of
"pagestyles."
A few pagestyle are predefined, and you can just load them with the
command \pagestyle. For instance, \pagestyle{headings} implements the
"headings" page style which does the following:

 The footer is empty. The header contains the folio at the outer side
of the page;
on verso pages the chapter name, number and title, in slanted
uppercase is set at the
spine margin and on recto pages the section number and uppercase title
is set by the
spine margin.

If none of the predefined style does what you want, you may define
your own (with the \makepagestyle command) and then load it with the
\pagestyle command. Section 7.3 of the manual provides a detailed
discussion of the \makepagestyle command.

Cheers,

Stefano

Unable to change the page style using Memoir

2012-05-31 Thread Fabio Sobral
Hello,

I'm new to LyX and TeX and while searching for resources about document
styling I came across several tutorials. One of them explained how to use
fancyhdr, which worked perfectly using the book document class.
Later I came across these blog posts:
http://hstuart.dk/2007/05/21/styling-the-chapter/
http://hstuart.dk/2007/06/12/styling-the-page-footer-and-header/

So I started using the document class to "book (Memoir)" to style the
chapters as described in the fist blog spot, but for some reason I can't
style the page header.
Changing the page layout using Document > Settings > Page layout doesn't
work either, it always end up using the "plain" header style.

I tried using fancyhdr again, but it doesn't work. Apparently the memoir
document class already includes an implementation of it or something like
that.


I'm using Windows XP SP3 and LyX 2.0.3.
