Document Classes ⇒ Memoir \markboth or \openright?

memoir will ensure that the chapters start on odd-numbered pages. You would have to ensure that the odd-numbered pages appear right-hand in print.

Ahh! That may be the key bit of information I lacked. I'll take a stab at this and see if I can make it do my bidding.

Thanks so much.

Yes, that did the trick. Letting the page numbering start by itself got everything in order, but I decided to get rid of the roman numerals entirely by forcing \pagestyle{empty} on the TOC page as well. It looks pretty good now.

I'm sure I'll have more questions as things progress, but this is a big win. Thanks, Stefan!
