Page Layout ⇒ Getting rid of page 1 on title page

[leo simon]

Would somebody mind looking at the following code and explaining why in spite of the \thispagestyle{empty} line and other attempts, latex continues to insist on putting a page number at the bottom? Thanks very much for your help

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,titlepage,reqno]{amsart}%
\parindent=0 pt
\parskip=12 pt plus 0 pt minus 0 pt
\usepackage{layout}
\usepackage{ifthen}
\newcounter{MakeBlind}
\setcounter{MakeBlind}{0}
\newcounter{TitlePage}
\setcounter{TitlePage}{1}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{harvard}%
\usepackage{amsfonts}%
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{fullpage}
\usepackage{colordvi}
\usepackage{psfrag}
\usepackage{doublespace}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\textwidth 7in
\oddsidemargin -0.25in
\footskip -0.5in
\pagestyle{fancy}%DON'T FORGET THIS
\thispagestyle{empty}
\pagestyle{empty}
\title{\small BLAH}
\ifthenelse{\theMakeBlind=0}{
\author{BLAH$\empty^\dagger \qquad$
$\qquad$ BLAH $\empty^{\dagger\dagger}$
$\qquad$ BLAH $\empty^{\dagger\dagger\dagger}$
\\[36pt] \today}
    }{}
\thanks{
%\parbox[b]{7in}{
$\empty^{\dagger}$BLAH\\
$\empty^{\dagger\dagger}$BLAH\\
$\empty^{\dagger\dagger\dagger}$BLAH\\
%}
}

Hi,

the reason is, that the amsart class has a special page style for the first page. You can override it in your preamble, like here:

Code: Select all

\makeatletter
\let\ps@firstpage\ps@empty
\makeatother

Worked like a charm, thanks very much indeed, Stefan.
