Page Layout ⇒ How to remove page numbers from my document?

[apleto]

Hello,

I am using IEEETrans to write a paper. I am not submitting it to an IEEE Transactions publication, but I 'm just using this document class because I thought it is very neat and well implemented.

Anyway, I don't want any page numbers on my paper. I tried to comment out the following lines in IEEETrans.cls but that resulted in about 50 errors while trying to build my paper. I can't understand why.

Code: Select all

%% SET UP THE DEFAULT PAGESTYLE
\ps@headings
\pagenumbering{arabic}
% normally the page counter starts at 1
\setcounter{page}{1}
% however, for peerreview the cover sheet is page 0 or page -1
% (for duplex printing)
\ifCLASSOPTIONpeerreview
  \if@twoside
      \setcounter{page}{-1}
   \else
      \setcounter{page}{0}
   \fi
\fi

Is there a better and easier way to get rid off page numbers from my paper, but still use IEEETran document class?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Unfortunately the above does not work...

Is there anything else I can do?

Why when I comment out the code mentioned above in the .cls file that generates more errors?

Should I change something in the .cls file?

Should I change something in the source file of my document (i.e. the .tex file)?

First of all, never make private changes to a class or package, they would make your system hard to maintain and update over time. Every change should go into the document (.tex) file. The following should do the job:
