Page Layout ⇒ TOC LOF sequential page numbering

[smarm]

Hi All.

I have a problem that seem to fall between the seams of all of the problems that I am finding answers to. Depositing dissertation in a few days with very specific guidelines, so I'm not looking for elegance, just a working answer.

I need TOCs, LOFs, Acknowledgments, etc all with sequential Roman numbering on each page (preferably on the lower-center) before the Arabic enumeration of the text begins. What I am getting with the following is each section beginning with its proper lower-case Roman numeral, then nothing for the remainder of its pages, until the next section begins. That is, the 3-page TOC has a (i) at the bottom-center, then is blank for the next 2 pages, then the 3-page LOF has a (iv) at the bottom-center, and then is blank as well for its next 2 pages, until the next section begins, &c.

Code: Select all

Make sure that you haven't put \pagestyle{empty} anywhere before that code for changing page numbering. As you can see from the following example, it should work fine with \pagestyle{plain}:
