Hi Paul, Thanks for all the help so far. Im getting close it seems.. So here is what is happening now. I inserted the \makeatletter at the beginning of the text you gave me to insert in the preamble. What I want is this(just to re-clarify): the TOC starts on page v(I am using roman numerals up till I get to the first chapter) and is two pages long so it is pages v and vi with only the second page, vi, being numbered.. Then the List of Tables(one page at vii un-numbered) and then the List of Figures(two pages long at viii and ix, only page ix numbered) What I am getting is: TOC is fine. It is numbered correctly. BUT it has the List of Tables starting at page vi, instead of vii. So it is not "counting" the second page of the TOC in the page numbering. Then I get the List of figures at vii instead of viii. Also the first page of the List of figures is still numbered... So that is what I have now. As for the second problem: I use the linux box(ubuntu) at home mainly as a back up to my macbook(OS X) to write my thesis. So there are probably file misplacements that I havent changed or updated on my nix box, which gave the error. I will have to look at that today/tomm.. Again, thanks for all the help. It is worth the frustration if I can learn how to do it in the end. Charles
