Sorry to post this as the subject has come up very recently but how do
you prevent page numbers in article.sty?

Thanks

Put \pagestyle{empty} before the beginning of your document and
\thispagestyle{empty} just after \maketitle. This last command is
necessary because \maketitle put a number on the first page.

First of all this is definitely in the LaTeX book.  If you look in
the index under page styles (since you want to change the style to
include no page numbers), you find \pagestyle 83, 161.  Go to page
83, you find 4 type of page styles.  The default for article, is
probably plain.  So to change this globally, put in the preamble
\pagestyle{empty}.
