Page Layout ⇒ Remove chapter 1

[yavanna]

Hello!
I want to remove "Chapter 1" before the title of the chapter, the only way I found out is chapter*{}, but with this method the chapter disappears from the index, too.
are there any methods to prevent that?
Thank you

Using the search function of the forum would have yielded suitable results. The following is for standard classes.

Code: Select all

\chapter*{Example}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Example}

Other classes may have built-in features.


Best regards and welcome to the board

I have a similar problem. I want to simply remove the heading "Chapter 2" etc but when I use \chapter*{Example} it then numbers all the sections within chapter 2 as chapter 1. Is there a simple way around that?
Thanks.

Hi tc105,

welcome to the board!

What exactly do you want? To increase the chapter/section numbering without a new chapter? If needed you could raise the chapter counter by \addtocounter or \stepcounter or \refstepcounter etc.

Literally all I want is to remove the "Chapter 2" from above the title of the chapter. I want the numbering of everything to stay the same.

Then try

Code: Select all

\chapter*{...}
\stepcounter{chapter}

Thanks, it works perfectly.
