Page Layout ⇒ First line of text too close to fancy header line

[maxiness]

Hi Everyone,

I'm using the fancyhdr package, and all is working well apart from the first line of the text on each page is way too close to the header line.

Any ideas how to move the text down a bit?

Thanks in advance

Always the same story ...

Sorry, I wasnt really sure what I have to include to get a MWE.

I fixed it anyway. Used \topskip.

Following the links in the mentioned topic would have shown you how to do this. There are detailed instructions. However, this behaviour is not normal. So it would have been interesting to see what's causing it. Your solution appears improper.

Supplement:
A MWE would have been so easy in this case.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,english]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage[includeheadfoot,margin=2cm]{geometry}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage{blindtext}

% Setup for page layout (fancyhdr)
\fancyhf{}
\lhead{\itshape ST215 Assessment I}
\rhead{\itshape Linear Regression in SPLUS}
\rfoot{\thepage}
\pagestyle{fancy}

\begin{document}
  \blinddocument
\end{document}

Just in case anyone wonders I think the strange behaviour is due to the package fullpage. I had the same problema and replaced that package with geometry and everything worked fine.
