General ⇒ Fancy header in the frontmatter problem

[Bert]

Hello everyone,

I am participating in the Design Synthesis Exercise in the third year of my bachelor. Our group is writing the report in latex. I am now trying to get the headers right. For the major part I succeeded, but there is a slight problem in the frontmatter. I used the \frontmatter command because now the chapters show up in the table of contents without a number. The problem is now that in the header latex puts "Chapter 0. Preface". I don't want that "Chapter 0." there. Does someone know how to solve this. I attached the files.

Regards,
Bert

Hi Bert,

welcome to the LaTeX Community board!
You could try \markboth:

Code: Select all

\chapter{Preface}
\markboth{Preface}{Preface}
...

I had this same issue and this worked for me. Thanks Stephan!
