Abstract resets page numbering

Post by malawk »

Hi All

First of all, thank you for this useful forum!

I have a minor issue regarding page numbering that is making me nuts! :( When I type

Code: Select all

\begin{Abstract}
 - abstract text- 
[code]\end{Abstract}
the page number of the following page (that would be section 1 of the chapter) is reset to 1!! :!: (the page number sequence from before the abstract is not resumed).

I'm writing a thesis using the normal report document class and otherwise nothing else fancy, with the exception of \including the chapters as separate files. Each of them carries an abstract written in the way abovementioned.

Thanks so much for your response.
Angel

Hi again

I think I got it! Simply use:

Code: Select all

\setcounter{savepage}{\thepage}
\begin{abstract}
...
\end{abstract}
\setcounter{page}{\thesavepage}
\stepcounter{page}
I'm happy now! :D
