Yes, that did the trick. Letting the page numbering start by itself got everything in order, but I decided to get rid of the roman numerals entirely by forcing \pagestyle{empty} on the TOC page as well. It looks pretty good now.

I'm sure I'll have more questions as things progress, but this is a ...

memoir will ensure that the chapters start on odd-numbered pages. You would have to ensure that the odd-numbered pages appear right-hand in print.

Ahh! That may be the key bit of information I lacked. I'll take a stab at this and see if I can make it do my bidding.

Thanks so much.

Thanks for the quick reply Stefan,

I see what you are saying about the numbering, but I'm not sure I understand quite how that would work. I'll be sending the PDF to the printer, so my assumption is that it will be printed and bound exactly as it comes to them.

When I actually print the proof ...

Hi Again Stefan,

OK, I added the preamble to the code above, maybe that will give you an idea. My TOC had 16 chapters in it, if that makes any difference.

Ideally, I'd like the Forword and the Notes on Second Edition pages to also be on the recto page with blank verso, then chap 1 on recto, as ...

Thanks Stefan,

Well, I'm getting closer to what I want, but now the frontmatter is giving me fits. It seems that no matter what I do, I can't get the first chapter to have the opening page on the recto. Latex seems to insist on inserting a blank page to foil my attempts. I've tried /cleardoublepage ...

Ahem. Nevermind. I had the \markboth line above the \chapter line. Moved it below the \chapter line. All fixed now... Argh!

I'm seeing a strange problem in my book layout. I'm using \markboth{\thetitle}{ Chapter_Name } to get my header layout to give me title and chapter name on opposing page headers, and I'm using \openright (at the beginning of each chapter - not sure if this is coorect). What's happening is that if ...

I have a book length doc that came to me MS Word form, and it has curly quotes throughout. Naturally, I need to convert all these to something that TexMaker recognizes, because otherwise the PDF comes out with spastic chars instead of quotes and apostrophies.

It looked like a simple find-and ...

OK, I have been bashing away on this for a day, and it looks like it's not entirely Memoir specific.

Right now I've got it partly solved, but still having problems. I'm using something like the following:

\pagestyle{myheadings}
\markboth{\thetitle}{\chaptername}

OK on the \thetitle, that works ...

I'm using Memoir for a book, and I am having some difficulty with the headers. I obviously need to change something, but I can't figure out where to make the change.

I want a numbered chapter name.

What I want for the (recto) header is:

Chaptername ................ Pagenum

and for the verso ...
