I'm making a report in latex, using the report documentclass, and i want to remove the page numbers on the buttom of the pages, that latex automatically adds, while also having the page number in the header instead. Can anybody help?

edit: I am using fancyhdr. My question has been answered, thank you guys.

    maybe the fancyhdr package is useful? (https://www.ctan.org/pkg/fancyhdr?lang=en) – Marijn Feb 25 '16 at 09:36

Load this in your preamble

\usepackage{fancyhdr}

\pagestyle{fancy}
\rhead{\thepage}
\cfoot{}

A good description for the start is given in here. The fancyhdr package provides a lot of flexibility. You could also have a look at the koma-script classes.

    If you want to remove the page number at the bottom without adding anything to the top, these two commands work. \fancyhf{} \renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt} https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/13896/how-to-remove-the-top-horizontal-bar-in-fancyhdr#13897 – mpr May 02 '18 at 21:36

Just issue the instruction

\pagestyle{myheadings}

(The default is \pagestyle{plain}.)

Note that you'll still page numbers placed at the bottom of the page for pages with chapter-level headings. This is usually a good idea since you wouldn't want page-number information competing visually with chapter-number information.

If you want any chapter-related information to be shown in the header line alongside the page numbers, use the headings page style, rather than the myheadings style.
