Is there a way to get a header line on the very first page of a \LaTeX document? Currently I use the "\setcounter..." line (see below) which creates an empty page 0 and page 1 {\em with} the header, but that's ugly at best. The document in question: \documentstyle[German,DINA4]{article} \pagestyle{myheadings} \raggedbottom \setlanguage{\english} \markright{BTOA(1)\hfill local\hfill} \begin{document} \setcounter{page}{0}\thispagestyle{empty}\mbox{ }\newpage \subsubsection*{NAME} ... \end{document} -- // Juergen Hermann UUCP: jh%ccave@smurf.sub.org \X/ 75 Karlsruhe 1, FRG Fido: 2:241/2.1212@FidoNet

This mark command cannot be undone, so if your heading uses the mark, you are lost. If you use a heading style that allows you to specify the fields without marks, which should only be done if the header does not depend on the page contents, then it can be done e.g. with a \thispagestyle command. Such a heading style is a.o. fancyheadings.sty -- Piet* van Oostrum, Dept of Computer Science, Utrecht University, Padualaan 14, P.O. Box 80.089, 3508 TB Utrecht, The Netherlands.
