General ⇒ only change headings (memoir class)

[pascal]

Dear all,

Just registered and with high hopes that someone who knows a little more about LaTeX in the memoir class can help me on this.

I am writing a thesis. Now, I put all the tables and figures at the end of the document (after the references). I don't want ToC entries for "Tables" and "Figures". Now, I guess I am slightly blind but I couldn't make out how I can simply change a header. Currently, all my tables and figures show "References" as it was the last chapter. Understandably, I prefer "Tables". But, how can I change the header on pages with tables and figures without making an entry in the ToC? And, optimally, it should only display headings but no chapter names on the tables pages (in case I would have to use \chapter and suppress in in the ToC somehow then it would still be displayed on the tables pages, I guess).

Many many thanks for you considerations,

Pascal

Hi Pascal,

welcome to the board!
You could use \markboth to change the headings, it works with standard classes as well with many other classes.
\chaptermark{Tables} could work too. Perhaps memoir provides more features, see its manual.

Thank you so much! I'm just highly busy... I've been browsing through the manual and googled quite extensively but somehow missed the answer! I've tried \markboth and it worked fine!

Again, thanks a lot!
