Vertical alignment in fancyhdr

[Chris Lieb]

Hi,

I am using the fancyhdr package to put a rather large header in my
document:

\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage{lastpage}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\lhead{
CACH Load Chart System
\vspace{5pt}
\hrule
\vspace{5pt}
\setstretch{3}
\textbf{
\begin{tabular}{p{7in}}
{\fontsize{36pt}{44pt}\selectfont EARMO T - NGT SORT HUB}
\begin{tabular}{p{6.5in}r}
{\fontsize{30pt}{36pt}\selectfont SLIC
6309}&\includegraphics[height=30pt]{ngt_hot}\\
\end{tabular}
{\fontsize{22pt}{26pt}\selectfont EARTH CITY MO 63000}
\end{tabular}
}
\setstretch{1}
}
\chead{}
\rhead{Page \thepage\ of \pageref{LastPage}}
\lfoot{id: 178}
\cfoot{}
\rfoot{Printed On: \today\\Last Updated: 5/24/2005}

When the document is generated, the page numbering in the right header
is aligned vertical center, which is below the \hrule in the left
header and on top of the graphic in the left header. I would like to
align the right header to the top of the header region instead of the
center. Does anyone know how to achieve this?

Any help is much appreciated.

It's not the solution I was looking for, but I ended up changing the
line:

\rhead{Page \thepage\ of \pageref{LastPage}}

to

\rhead{Page \thepage\ of \pageref{LastPage}\vspace{64pt}}

I'll have to modify it every time I have to adjust the header height,
so a simple alignment command will still be preferable.

I wasn't able to understand your problem by putting the code in a
simple document.

Make a complete running minimal example. Replace the graphic by a
equivalent \rule-command.

Here is a full sample document with rules in place of images:

\documentclass[letterpaper,oneside]{article}

\usepackage{pslatex}

% Set up page margins
% To make left margin at edge of page, lmargin must be -.25in
% Margins:
% left: .75in
% top: .75in
% right: .75in (letter only)
% bottom: .75in (letter only)
\usepackage[tmargin=.5in,lmargin=.25in,rmargin=.25in,bmargin=1.55in]{geometry}

\usepackage{setspace}
\usepackage[usenames]{color}
\usepackage{supertabular}

% Set graphic reference path
\usepackage{graphicx}
%\graphicspath{
% {/cach/ie/apps/sharedgraphics/}
% %{../../../../cach/ie/apps/sharedgraphics/}
%}

% Setup header and footer
% head: [CACH Load Chart System][][Page x of total]
% foot: [id: SEQ_NUM][][date(NOW)]
% NOTE: File must be processed twice to get correct page count
\usepackage{fancyhdr}

[...]

When I try your code (with pdfLaTeX) the page numbering ("Page 1 of 1")
isn't below a \hrule but sits above the rule on the same line as "CACH
Load....". So either I haven't understand your description or
something odd is going on in your system.

Could you put your pdf somewhere on the net?

That is exactly what I want to have happen. I would like to see if I
could find a solution so I could just say align this to the top of the
region instead of having to play around with \vspace every time that I
have to change the layout of the header.

Why don't you put the page number in the left head:

\lhead{CACH Load Chart System\hfill
Page \thepage\ of \pageref{LastPage} ...

Oh my. I can't belive that I overlooked a simple \hfill! I had been
playing around with \hfill in some tables, but it never occured to me
to use it in the header. I guess that I was so preoccupied with it
being right-aligned that I assumed that it had to be in the right
header.

Thanks Ulrike
