I'm using the memoir class, which has the option to directly define what should be shown on odd and even pages, seperately. I want to put the page number on the left of the left pages, and on the right of the right pages. Just like a regular book.

But somehow, it's not working. This is my preamble:

\documentclass[a4paper,oneside,article]{memoir}

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[danish]{babel}
\usepackage{microtype}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\usepackage[danish]{varioref}

\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb}
\usepackage{bm}
\usepackage{amsthm}
\usepackage{mathtools}
\usepackage{icomma}

\usepackage{listings}

\usepackage{siunitx}

\usepackage{graphicx}
\graphicspath{{billeder/}}

\usepackage[version=3]{mhchem}

\usepackage{color,soul}

\usepackage{lastpage}

\usepackage{threeparttable}
\usepackage{multirow}

\usepackage[includeheadfoot,left=2cm,right=2cm,top=2cm,bottom=2cm]{geometry}
\makepagestyle{standard}
\makeevenhead{standard}{}{}{}
\makeoddhead{standard}{}{}{}
\makeevenfoot{standard}{Page \thepage\ of \pageref{LastPage}}{}{AO, DA, NFL}
\makeoddfoot{standard}{AO, DA, NFL}{}{Page \thepage\ of \pageref{LastPage}}
\makeheadrule{standard}{\textwidth}{\normalrulethickness}
\makefootrule{standard}{\textwidth}{\normalrulethickness}{3pt}
\setlength{\headheight}{40pt}
\pagestyle{standard}

\begin{document}

\author{AO, DA, NFL}
\title{Title}
\date{2015.06.01}
\maketitle
\pagebreak
\tableofcontents*
\pagebreak

\lipsum
\lipsum
\lipsum

\end{document}

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

From the answers I've gotten so far, i've changed the argument of "oneside" in the very first line to "twoside", and it works. But as described below, now, the title page and ToC has changed. These are snapshots of oneside titlepage and ToC, and twoside twoside titlepage and ToC.

Oneside, titlepage

Oneside, ToC

Twoside, titlepage

    Hi and welcome, very good to post an example. A regular book is printed both sided, your document is specified oneside. Left pages are non-existent here. – Johannes_B Apr 14 '15 at 11:07

    In addition to Johannes' comment, under onside, only the odd layout is used, so even is ignored. You have to switch to twoside in order to get even and odd header design – daleif Apr 14 '15 at 11:16

    @daleif I got a chat ping and was distracted. I wanted to write more. – Johannes_B Apr 14 '15 at 11:18

    Also watch out for chapter style pages. Pages with new chapters have their own style and will not follow your standard style (don't be surprised that the page number will be centered). – remus Apr 14 '15 at 11:21
  • Thanks! Changing it to twosided works! However, when doing so, the title page and ToC are messed up. With onesided, they are nice and collected, but with twosided, huge linebreaks are inserted in between. On the other hand the rest of the document looks great. – Anders Olsen Apr 14 '15 at 12:21
  • Use \newpage not \pagebreak. \pagebreak should not be used. Under twoside we run under flushbottom, whereas oneside under under raggedbottom. So LaTeX will now try to make all pages the same height. If you then use \pagebreak then it attempts to fill the page vertically. \newpage does not. Forget you ever heard of \pagebreak. – daleif Apr 14 '15 at 12:58
  • @daleif Can you add a short answer? – Johannes_B Dec 21 '15 at 12:29
  • @Johannes_B, not really as it is not particulrly clear what is being answered here – daleif Dec 21 '15 at 13:10
  • @daleif It seems to be a combination of missing twoside in combination with the behaviour \pagebreak has in flushbottom mode. As often, a cascade of issues :-) – Johannes_B Dec 21 '15 at 13:14
  • @Johannes_B done – daleif Dec 21 '15 at 13:19

  1. use twoside class option to enable left/right headers (in oneside only the odd version is used)
  2. Never use \pagebreak unless you know what you are doing. You are probably looking for \newpage
