Forcefully positioning header page numbers for even and odd pages

manpreet Best Answer 3 years ago

I'm trying to write a syllabus and I want the page numbers to be on alternating sides of each page. I am using the package fancyhdr, and know the command to accomplish this, \fancyhead[LE,RO]{\thepage}. But, when I typeset it, the page numbers stay on the right side of the header in all pages. How do I fix this? Please and thank you.
