In summary, the default behavior of the memoir class is to use a double-sided layout, which can cause misalignment of pages in a thesis. To solve this problem, the option "oneside" must be added to the documentclass line. This can be found in the documentation for LaTex distribution.

Hello,

I noticed that pages in my thesis are not aligned. like this segment of code:

Code: 
\documentclass[a4paper,12pt,openany]{memoir}
\begin{document}
\chapter{}
\chapter{}
\end{document}

How can I solve this problem?

Thanks in advance

They're not supposed to be. The default behaviour of the memoir class is to use a double-sided layout. If you want to use a single-sided layout you'll have to specify that explicitly as an option.

Please read the documentation for your LaTex distribution. It's terribly good.

It is highly appreciated if you lead me where to read, because I tried to read in the 619-pages memoir class manual, and I lost in it.

Changing your first line to

Code: 
\documentclass[a4paper,12pt,openany,oneside]{memoir}

should fix the problem.

1. How do I align text to the left or right side of a page in Latex?

To align text to the left, use the command \begin{flushleft} followed by your text, and end with \end{flushleft}. To align text to the right, use \begin{flushright} followed by your text, and end with \end{flushright}. You can also use the \raggedleft and \raggedright commands to align text within a specific portion of your document.

2. How can I center my text on the page in Latex?

To center text on the page, use the \centering command before your text. If you want to center a specific portion of your document, use the \begin{center} and \end{center} commands around your text. Alternatively, you can use the \centerline{} command to center a specific line of text within your document.

3. How do I adjust the margins of my page in Latex?

To adjust the margins of your page, use the \usepackage{geometry} command in the preamble of your document. Then, use the \geometry{margin=desired_margin_size} command to set the desired margin size. You can also use the \newgeometry command to change the margins for a specific section of your document.

4. How can I change the spacing between lines in my Latex document?

To change the spacing between lines, use the \usepackage{setspace} command in the preamble of your document. Then, use the \setstretch{desired_spacing} command to set the desired spacing. You can also use the \singlespacing, \onehalfspacing, and \doublespacing commands to set specific line spacing options.

5. How do I adjust the alignment of equations in my Latex document?

To adjust the alignment of equations, use the \begin{align} and \end{align} commands around your equations. Then, use the & symbol to indicate where you want the alignment to occur. For example, to align equations at the equal sign, use the command \begin{align*} &a = b \\ &c = d \end{align*}.
