LaTeX in a Minute: Custom Page Layout

[@Samsor007]

Hello Sir, I am working on a Pashto-German dictionary in the old word-version from 2002, and the publisher wants the book to be in Word 2019, when I convert the file to 2019 Word, the alignment of the words in Pashto and in German mixes up. The book is over 1500 pages. Can you please help?

So I do not get the header gray area and the page number print way to right (off page) in the upper right hand corner of each page.

Unfortuantely I am not able to reproduce the results in TeXShop. Not sure what the issue is. I did skip those % inside the { . That are they (%) for??

The % are just comments which I use to easily navigate the start and finish of an environment and are not essential for compilation. It's difficult to say why it does not compile for you. It could be any one of a number of things, but I suspect that it is almost certainly down to configurations within TeXShop. For example, are you using pdflatex? Are you using windows/mac? What Tex distribution are you using behind TeXShop (simple/basic)? Are all the necessary packages up to date and installed? Be aware that Overleaf (used in this video) uses TeX Live to compile so some macros packages will come installed in the background. TexShop may require you to install these manually. My advice is to spend some time navigating forums such as Stack Overflow to see if somebody else has had a similar issue and posted solutions might help you to diagnose the issue. Since I have long since abondoned local compilers for Overleaf and have never used TeXShop, I cannot help much beyond these suggestions I'm afraid.

@@MathPartner I see. I thought perhaps you wanted to have an empty line and LaTeX is some instances does not like that.
