You want to use a package called fancyhdr.
This code will put the page number at the bottom left on odd numbered pages
and right on even numbered pages.
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\fancyhf{} %clears everything
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt} %make header line 0 width
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth
For Koma script you can use in the preamble
%%Seitenangabe oben rechts >>page number top right
\usepackage{scrpage2}%%ohne diesen Befehl gehen die folgenden nicht!
\pagestyle{scrheadings} %% auf benutzerdefinierten Stil umschalten
\clearscrheadfoot
\ihead{\headmark}
\ohead{\pagemark} %% Seite
Dear Lyx Users,
the journal for which I am writing an article is asking a different page
numbering with "page numbers go in the upper right-hand corner, starting
with p. 2 as the Abstract in the manuscript (which is the page 3 of the LyX
document).
How would that be possible ?
Thank you very muc
