Page Layout ⇒ Problem Page in Table of Contents

[coachbennett1981]

Here is the code I am using for a table of contents. Page 1 is blank and it should not be, I can't figure out how to get ride of the blank page. Any suggestions?

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt]{book}
\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb,amsfonts} % Typical maths resource packages
\usepackage{fancyhdr}

\pagestyle{fancyplain}
\fancyfoot{}
\cfoot{\thepage}

\begin{document}

Try using the longtable package. In your preamble, define

Code: Select all

\usepackage{longtable}
\setlength\LTleft{0pt}
\setlength\LTright{0pt}

and then call the longtable environment: \begin{longtable}..\end{longtable} (which is able to span multiple pages)
