Page Layout ⇒ Remove header only on a certain page

[ougka]

Hello,

I have a certain formatting style for my thesis.

However, in my Abstract Section i want NOT to have a header and a page number at all (but I want to have it as an entry in my TOC). Therefore, I have done the following :

Code: Select all

\newpage
\thispagestyle{empty}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\numberline{}Abstract}
\begin{center}
   \textbf{\huge Abstract}
\end{center}

The \thispagestyle{empty} clears the header and page number (which is in the header) but does it only for the first page of the abstract. How can I enforce this on the second page as well?

Thanks!

Use (also) \pagestyle{empty} before the abstract, afterwards you can call \pagtestyle{...} again for your standard document body page style.

Thanks for your answer Stafan.

This won't do the trick because I want to have no page style in a couple of sections which are not consequitive (e.g. abstract, declaration, references etc) and my original \pagestyle{fancy} format redeclares quite a few things (chaptermarks, sectionmrks, lhead, chead and many more). So it's troublesome to reset and set the pagestyle in a lot of places.

Isn't there a way to push the \thispagestyle{empty} for another page or a section?

So it's troublesome to reset and set the pagestyle in a lot of places.

Why? Just write \pagestyle{fancy} at such places. The style is just once defined in the preamble, and can be activated later this way. You can easily switch between empty and fancy.

oooooh, yeah, I didn't know I could do that!

Thanks
