General ⇒ page numbering problem

[chao]

Hi,
I know somebody had asked this problem. However, it seems still to be a problem for me.

a. I want to disable page numbering for a thesis' title and the second page(copyright page).

main.tex file
\documentclass[twoside,letterpaper,12pt]{report}
\begin{document}
\include{title}
\include{copyright}
\end{document}

title.tex
\thispagestyle{empty}
\chapter*{title}
\begin{center}
Title\\
\end{center}

copyright.tex file
\thispagestyle{empty}
\chapter*{Copyright }
\begin{center}
2008\\
All Rights Reserved\\
\end{center}

My script does not work. Can anyone help?

2. I want to resume the numbering from the third page. However the "copyright" page should not be counted.
This means the 3rd page shows a page number of "2" and the title page is the first one (but no number shown). How can I do this?

Thanks very much!

Hi Chao,

1. in title.tex and copyright.tex write \thispagestyle{empty} after chapter*{...} else the page style will be plain instead of empty.
2. you can change the page counter, write

   Code: Select all

   \setcounter{page}{2}

   on the third page.

It seems that you guys have an automatic reply system. So fast and accurate.
Thanks a million

Hi chao,

because you provided complete example code it was easier to give a very specific solution. :-)
