Page Layout

Hello! I have a section header I'd like to remove. In the image below, it says "1. Executive Summary" at the top. I'd like this section to begin instead with just the "PRO-D-ZINE INC." ... and continue thereon. However, I'd also like for the "1. Executive Summary" to stay in the Table of Contents. How can I suppress this section header without removing it from the TOC?

I've looked around a fair bit and haven't found anything. Thanks so much!

It's funny, I was actually looking up something entirely unrelated when I stumbled across something that gave me the idea for this solution:

Code: Select all

\newpage
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Executive Summary}

So great! I don't have a chapter header, while adding a new entry to the table of contents.

Hi,

welcome to the board!

\addcontentsline is good!

I just recommend to use \clearpage or \cleardoublepage instead of newpage, to force the output of stored floats, and to start on a right hand page if required.
