Page Layout ⇒ Page Numbering in Texworks

[horizon_83]

Hi,

I am writing my thesis and need to have a page number in roman from the second page excluding abstract. But I am getting page numbers only in the chapters not the title, approval pages... etc. I tried using \setcounter{page}{i} but it does not work... I would really appreciate any help on this.

Thanks

As far as I can understand some parts of your post, I can say that the page numbering does not have anything to do with the editor. Please post a minimal working example including all the relevant packages and settings related to this particular issue.

Hi I am having two problems. Firstly I want my page to be numbered from the second page ie, it should have nu number on abstract page. Secondly I want my acknowledgements, list of figures to be in table of contents with page number. I have tried a lot but its not working. I have posted the basic format I have used. Would really appreciate any help on this matter...
Thanks!!

This is the abstract, a brief summary of the contents of the thesis. It
is limited to 150 words in length.

The abstract page(s) are not numbered and are not necessarily included in a
printed and bound copy of the thesis. The index words at the bottom of the
abstract should be chosen carefully, preferably with the help of your colleagues.

% Display the index words (this is a bit fancy):
\begin{list}{\sc Index words:\hfill}{\labelwidth 1.2in\leftmargin 1.4in\labelsep 0.2in}
