Page Layout ⇒ Get rid of blank Page after Part

[simonsp]

I have a document in book style where I have used parts to make my document like this:

Part 1
Chapter 1
Chapter 2
...
Part 2
Chapter 1
Chapter 2
...

I have used the command \part{} to create the parts and the command:

Code: Select all

\makeatletter\@addtoreset{chapter}{part}\makeatother%

for the resetting of chapters.
The problem is, that I can't get rid of the blank page after the second part. I have used:

Code: Select all

\makeatletter
\@openrightfalse
\part{1}
\@openrighttrue
\makeatother

for the first blank page after the first part, but it won't work after the second part. What should I do?


Thanks in advance
Simon

Hi Simon,

welcome to the board!

Since you use \@openrighttrue, you request that chapters should start at right-hand pages, which means pages with odd page numbers. So, if necessary, a blank page is inserted. If you don't want the blank page, the chapter would start at an even page, which is not desired. Or change that.

Look:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{book}
\makeatletter\@addtoreset{chapter}{part}\makeatother%
\begin{document}
\makeatletter
\@openrightfalse
\part{1}
\@openrighttrue
\makeatother
\chapter{One}
\end{document}

Here, the part page is page 1. The chapter should start on the right side, so it has to start on page 3. The consequence is that page 2 is empty.
