Text Formatting ⇒ Headers when non-numbered chapter

[gwada74]

Hi,

My editor is asking me to put on the odd pages headings the name of my two first chapters. But those are non-numbered chapter they are the Introduction and the Preface.

the chapter are :

Code: Select all

chapter*{Introduction}
chapter*{Preface}

I am using fancy headings and the code is :

Code: Select all

[\fancyhead{}
\fancyhead[LE]{\raggedright\itshape\nouppercase{Name of the Book}}
\fancyhead[RO]{\raggedleft\itshape\nouppercase{\leftmark}}

If I use * with chapter the even page do not have the chapter name in the headings.

Does somebody have an answer for me ?

Hi,

you can use \markboth right after \chapter*:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[twoside,openany]{report}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyhead{}
\fancyhead[LE]{\raggedright\itshape\nouppercase{Name of the Book}}
\fancyhead[RO]{\raggedleft\itshape\nouppercase{\leftmark}}

\begin{document}

\chapter*{Introduction}
\markboth{Introduction}{}
\lipsum[1-30]
\chapter{test chapter}
\lipsum[1-30]

\end{document}
