An example of two-sided printing

Some document classes, such as book.cls, print two-sided: the even pages and the odd pages have different layouts; other document classes use the twoside option to print two-sided.

Now let us print the report two-sided. Let the above page layout be used for the odd (right-side) pages, and the following for the even (left-side) pages:

The performance of new graduates
page body
4 From: K. GrantTo: Dean A. Smith

where ``4'' is the page number.

Here are the commands:

\lhead[]{\bfseries The performance of new graduates}
\chead{}
\rhead[\bfseries The performance of new graduates]{}
\lfoot[\thepage]{From: K. Grant}
\cfoot[From: K. Grant]{To: Dean A. Smith}
\rfoot[To: Dean A. Smith]{\thepage}
\setlength{\headrulewidth}{0.4pt}
\setlength{\footrulewidth}{0.4pt}

As you see, the values of the fields for the even (left-side) pages are given in the square brackets. Again, you may use \thispagestyle{plain} for a simple page layout for page 1.
