Page Layout ⇒ foonote and chapter heading problems

[carol]

Hi,
I have two formatting problems:

1- one of the footnote of my document (using \footnote) with length of 3 lines is splitted over two pages. that is, one line on 1 page and the rest on the next page. How could I keep it in on one page?

2- I have a document that the title of each chapter is displayed automatically on each page of the chapter (without using any option). In this document, I have a list of acronyms using acronym package. The list of table precedes list of acronyms. I have made the title of the list of acronyms with \chapter*{List of Acronyms}. But I see that "list of tables" appears on each page of list of acronyms. How could I make it disapear or replace by "list of acronyms"? I have this problem only with this chapter that was entitled by \chapter*{} and not with other chapters entitled by \chapter.

Look forward to your reply,

carol

I realized that chapter heading is displayed by \pagestyle{headings} that I use. But why was the heading of \chapter*{List of Acronyms} not taken in the list of headings?

Hi Carol,

you could fix that by \markboth, like

Code: Select all

\markboth{List of Acronyms}{List of Acronyms}

I added \markboth as follows:

Code: Select all

\listoftables
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{List of Acronyms}
\markboth{List of Acronyms}{LIST OF Acronyms}
\input{abbrev.tex}

but it starts from the list of tables which precedes list of acronyms. Why?

Any clue for the long footnote?

Unnumbered chapters introduced by the \chapter* command are neither displayed in the ToC nor as title columns. Others than the standard classes have built-in features to achieve that. For standard classes the approach of Stefan is appropriate.

I added \markboth as follows:

Code: Select all

\listoftables
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{List of Acronyms}
\markboth{List of Acronyms}{LIST OF Acronyms}
\input{abbrev.tex}

but it starts from the list of tables which precedes list of acronyms. Why?

Add a \newpage right after the \listoftables command.


Best regards
