LaTeX forum ⇒ General ⇒ Keep heading but remove page numbering from footer

[shr2004]

Hi
I am a moderate user of Latex. I am writing a paper using entcs class along with prentcsmacro.sty style (provided by ENTCS, Elsevier). According to the style author's name appears in the header and page number in footer starting from 2nd page. For a special circumstance, I want to remove page numbering but keep the heading. I know the currently used pagestyle is headings.
If I used \pagestyle{empty} then there will be no heading. Is there any way or command that will remove page numbering while keeping the heading?
Here is a very brief summary of the paper structure:

\documentclass{entcs}
\usepackage{prentcsmacro}
\begin{document}
\begin{frontmatter}
\title{}
\end{frontmatter}
\section{}
\end{document}

In prentcsmacro.sty file the \pagestyle{headings} is defined.

Thanks

Hi,

a quick fix would be:

\makeatletter
\let\@oddfoot\@empty
\let\@evenfoot\@empty
\makeatother

but in general I recommend to use the fancyhdr package in order to customize headers and footers.

Excellent....it works like charm
I am really surprised the quickness of your reply.

Thanks a lot

The code above removes the footer completely. If you want both footer and header and no page numbering, you can conveniently use the fancy package as follows:

\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
% your header and footer code
\fancyfoot[C]{}
