I've gone back to the 'book' class from the 'memoir' class because I cannot clear a page number from the title page on the latter. Doesn't matter to me which class definition I use as long as I understand how to remove the little glitches. Which brings me to the reason for this message.
Immediately after my name (as author), I have this: \pagestyle{empty} \clearpage %% Contents of copyright page \clearpage \pagenumbering{roman} \setcounter{page}{1} %% Table of Contents -- done by LyX Preface %% Un-numbered chapter %% preface contents \pagenumbering{arabic} Introduction %% Part # -- done by LyX Background %% Chapter 1 -- done by LyX When I view the dvi output, I see that the first page of the ToC is marked, i, but the second page has no page number. The Preface page is numbered, iii. The page reading, "Part 1 Introduction", is numbered, 1. There is a blank page and the next recto page is "Chapter 1 Background" with a page number of 3. This is not what I want; at least, I don't think that's what I want. I thought that the second page of the ToC should be numbered "ii", the "Part" page should have no number, and the first page of "Chapter 1" should be numbered "1". I tried '\setcounter{page}{1}' just before the chapter title, and that does reset the page number to 1. However, the "Part " page is still marked with a "1". Thanks for helping me to learn.
