Page Layout ⇒ Remove page number from Part (book class)

[Pilot Island]

Hello,

I am using the book class, and I'm quite pleased with the standard headers using the myheadings style and markboth before each chapter. My book is coming along well, but I have one issue.

How do I remove the page number from the bottom of each Part section? I've tried the thispagestyle{empty} code, which works on other pages but not before Part. I know there's a command to turn them off in KOMA-script, but I'm on a roll with the book class and don't wish to change anything else.

Thanks for your time.

Hi,

this would be a straightforward way:

Code: Select all

\makeatletter
\renewcommand\part{%
  \if@openright
    \cleardoublepage
  \else
    \clearpage
  \fi
  \thispagestyle{empty}%
  \if@twocolumn
    \onecolumn
    \@tempswatrue
  \else
    \@tempswafalse
  \fi
  \null\vfil
  \secdef\@part\@spart}
\makeatother
