VMS Help  —  DSR  DSR Commands, .LAYOUT
    The .LAYOUT command rearranges running-head and running-foot
    information on pages. (See the .HEADERS ON command.) When the
    default .LAYOUT operates, page numbering is not displayed on the
    first page, it starts on page 2.

    Format

      .LAYOUT  n1 [,n2]

    Abreviated format

      .LO  n1 [,n2]

1  –  Parameters

 n1

    A number from 0 to 3 that specifies one of the following
    arrangements of running head information:

    .LAYOUT 0   Restores the standard arrangement of title and
                subtitle in the upper left of a page, and page number
                and date in the upper right.
    .LAYOUT 1   Titles and subtitles are centered at the tops of
                pages. Page numbers are centered at the bottom. No
                date is output.
    .LAYOUT 2   Titles and subtitles appear at the top right of
                right-hand (odd-numbered) pages and at the top left
                of left-hand (even-numbered) pages. Page numbers are
                centered at the bottom. No date is output.
    .LAYOUT 3   Gives the standard page arrangement for title and
                subtitle (as in .LAYOUT 0), but with the addition
                of running-page numbers centered at the bottom of
                pages between two hyphens (for example, - 23 -).
                Running-page numbers are consecutive through the
                entire document rather than within chapters; they
                are not affected by the .NO NUMBER or .NUMBER PAGE
                commands. (See also .NUMBER RUNNING.)

 n2

    Specifies how many lines below the last line of text on a page
    the number will appear. You must specify n2 if n1 is 1, 2, or 3.
    If n1 is 0, you cannot specify a value for n2.

2  –  Default

    .LAYOUT 0
