Page Layout ⇒ Problem with page numbering

[Jamwa]

Look at this code:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{report}
\usepackage[]{fullpage}
%\usepackage{graphics}

% Title Page
\title{
Prepared by \\John Doe\\
}

\date{May 2012}
\author{John Doe}

\begin{document}
\pagenumbering{roman}
\maketitle
\tableofcontents
\thispagestyle{empty}

\chapter*{Project Overview}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Project Overview}
\setcounter{page}{1}
\pagenumbering{arabic}
\paragraph{}
We enumerate two components:

\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Component A}
\section*{Component A}
\paragraph{}
The general component will work as follows:

\begin{enumerate}
 \item A
 \item B
 \item C
 \item D
 \item E
 \end{enumerate}

\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Component B}
\section*{Component B}
\paragraph{}
This component will offer a two-way approach

\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Conclusion}
\chapter*{Conclusion}
\paragraph{}
It is my hope that the review has covered to your satisfaction matters relating to the working of the

Why is it that the chapter "Conclusion" is recorded on the table of contents to be on page 1 instead of page 2? How do I fix this please?

[Stefan Kottwitz]

The reason is that you wrote \addcontentsline before the \chapter* command, which makes the page break. Write it afterwards, or break the page before you make the table of contents entry, for example:

Code: Select all

\cleardoublepage
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Conclusion}
\chapter*{Conclusion}

Aha, thanks for that.
I have interchanged them:

Code: Select all

\chapter*{Conclusion}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Conclusion}

and now it is OK
