Text Formatting ⇒ ToC with Roman and Arabic Page Numbers

[Leoni]

Hi guys,

I am desperately looking for the solution of my problem:
I am writing a dissertation. My contents will include Abstract, Abbreviations, Symbols and Glossary before the very first Chapter. All these four will not count as chapter, so I used

Code: Select all

1
\chapter*{Abstract}

My problem is, that when the Table of Contents is generated, it somehow doesn't take the page numbers, but it puts xv (the last page before chapter 1 starts) everywhere, so it looks like this:

Code: Select all

1
2
3
4
5
Contents
Abstract .................. xv
Abbreviations ............. xv
Symbols ................... xv
Glossary .................. xv
 
 
הההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההה

instead of:

What do I do wrong here?
Any help will be highly appreciated,
