Page Layout ⇒ no page number for first page in article class

[neumannturing]

Hello,
After set \pagestyle{empty}, all page numbers for other pages are gone except for the first page. It seems that \maketitle create the number in the first page as follows. How can I turn off the page number for the first page while still keeping the title? Thanks

Code: Select all

\documentclass[twoside,twocolumn]{article}
\title{Title: bla bla bla}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\pagestyle{empty}
\section{INTRODUCTION}
bla bla.....
\end{document}

\maketitle will give the current page the page style "plain", which does have a page number unless you turn it off. You can assign a given page the page style empty with the \thispagestyle command, e.g.:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[twoside,twocolumn]{article}
\title{Title: bla bla bla}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\thispagestyle{empty}
\pagestyle{empty}
\section{INTRODUCTION}
bla bla.....
\end{document}

Or else you can redefine the plain page style to not have a page number, which is more complicated. Let us know if you want to do that.
