  • 1.  start chapter numbering

    Posted 07-31-2008 18:55
    Hello,



    I'm looking for a way to prevent page numbering on my chapter
    titlepages.



    My current stylesheet customization produces a front and back page for
    the titlepage and starts the content on the third page. Although I'm
    able to prevent the page number from showing on the front and back of
    the titlepage, they are still counted. The third page is numbered "3".
    I'd like it to start with the number 1 on the third page.



    I'm using page number prefixes, ie: Chapter 1-1, Chapter 2-1, etc...



    Seems like there should be a simple customization to handle this - does
    anybody know?



    Thanks in advance,

    Troy L. Day

    Troy,

    I've never tried this myself, but Bob Stayton's book has a section on
    page numbering that may do the trick. Check out this section:

    Hope that helps.
