If you use \pagestyle{empty}, but the first page is numbered anyway,
you are probably using the \maketitle command too. This is not a bug
but a feature! The standard LaTeX styles are written so that initial
pages (pages containing a \maketitle, \part, or \chapter) have a
different page style from the rest of the document; Hence, the
commands internally issue \thispagestyle{plain}. This is usually not
acceptable behaviour if the surrounding page style is `empty'.
Possible workarounds include:
* Put \thispagestyle{empty} immediately after the \maketitle
command, with no blank line between them.
* Use fancyhdr.sty, which allows you to customise the style for
initial pages independently of that for body pages. It is
available in macros/latex/contrib/supported/fancyhdr
* Use nopageno.sty, which suppresses this behaviour. It is available
in macros/latex/contrib/supported/carlisle/nopageno.sty
A question to lyx-devel list:
Should LyX generate a \thispagestyle{empty} command/include nopageno
automatically if the page style is empty?
