latex, documentstyle book, how page numbers always bottom centered? [closed]

Question

I am writing a 100+ page thesis using latex, with the document style "book".

Right now the page number is bottom centered on the first page of a chapter, on the top outer margin on the subsequent pages of a chapter.

I want the page numbers to always be bottom centered on each page, for roman as well as arabic page numbers. How I can I do this?

Answer 1

Use \pagestyle{plain} in the header, and read this section of the LaTeX Book on Wikibooks for more details.
