I would like *not* to have the page number on the first page
of some of my documents using the `article' style, because they
are just one page. I tried to do this using \pagestyle{empty}, but
LaTeX insists on putting the page number in (at the bottom of the
page), nonetheless.
My workaround is editing the PostScript I get from the .dvi file,
but there must be a better way!
What is it?
Thanks in advance. (Replies to walrmath@fac3.anu.oz.au)

Use \thispagestyle{empty} somewhere before the first page break. And,
when you find some time, read the manual...

Perhaps you didn't read the question. This is a common problem; many commands in various styles will happily set \thispagestyle{plain} even if you've done a \thispagestyle{empty}. You could turn off pagenumbering in an entire document by \pagestyle{empty} \makeatletter \ps@plain=\ps@empty \makeatother but I wouldn't recommend it, because it's grotesque. -- ---------------- Ed Sznyter Distributed Systems Group ews@pescadero.stanford.edu

And, >when you find some time, read the manual... ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Hmm...look up \thispagestyle in the LaTeX book; turn to page 161 and read. No hint there that \thispagestyle behaves any differently from \pagestyle as regards numbering the first page... Thanx for the tip tho'...I have also wondered about this.
