Hi there,

Thanks to help on this board I was abke to create a table of contents.

However the table of contents are included as pasge numbers?

Is there a way to circumvent this?

Hi,

please explain further what you want to achieve or what's unwanted.

Sorry,

currently the contets pages are counting towards the total number of pages.

I would rather that page 1 was page 1 of chapter 1.

Is that clearer?

Perhaps ... I guess you want to start the page numbering with the first chapter and to suppress the numbering of the previous pages, have a look at

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{book}
\begin{document}
\pagestyle{empty}
\addtocontents{toc}{\protect\thispagestyle{empty}}
\tableofcontents
\clearpage
\setcounter{page}{1}
\chapter{Test}
text
\end{document}

ah no wait!

Now all the page number are missing?

How can I turn them back on at chapter1?

Just call again \pagestyle with the style you want, like

Code: Select all

\pagestyle{headings}

at the beginning of the first chapter.
