LyX ⇒ pagecounting on titlepage

[botterbloom]

Hey!
I'm writing an report and want Lyx to start the pagecounting on the second page. No matter what I try, it always puts a "1" on the titlepage. \pagestyle{empty} and \thispagestyle{empty} is both not working. Even if I put LaTex commands for begin and end titlepage around Author, title and date, there appears a "1" on the titlepage. And the best: I set pagestyle to empty in the settings, and guess, what it does? It puts a "1" on the titlepage and the rest of the pages are without numbers. Maybe anybody knows this Problem and has another solution for me?
Thank you!!

Hi there,

You talked about the \pagestyle and \thispagestyle command, but do you add the package to use these, which is \usepackage{fancy} (if I remember right)???

Secondly, I find it very peculiar that the numbering starts on the title page. Could you give an example of your title page???

Cheers

Hey fatra2!
Well, this is my titlepage:

\date{}
\begin{titlepage}
\thispagestyle{empty}

here is title author and date

\end{titlepage}

I tried to set the pagestyle in the settings to fancy, but there is still the "1" on the first page. I also tries to put \usepackage{fancy} in the preambel, but then there was an error. Anyway, thanks for your answer, maybe I have to use Photoshop to delete the damn "1"...

Hi there,

Looking at your last post, something just popped. You write some code before your title page: \date{}. This means that the title page will not start on the first page of the document, but the second. This might just be the cause of your problem. Try putting the title page right at first in your document. It anyways make sense, since you don't want to have a document that starts with something and then a title page.

Cheers
