Table of Contents page numbers, frontmatter

Post by alarswilson »

It is necessary for me for the first page numbers to appear at the bottom of the table of contents page, and for this to be page three in lower case roman numerals (It is assumed that the title page is page one, and a copyright page is page two.)

I'm using titlepage and copyrightpage and abstract. If you ne

Here's what I've attempted, and it puts a 0 at the bottom of the contents page.

Code: Select all

\begin{document}
\include{titlepage}
\include{copyrightpage}
\pagestyle{plain}
\include{abstract}
\tableofcontents
\pagenumbering{roman}
\setcounter{page}{3}

\pagenumbering{arabic}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\setcounter{page}{0}
\include{ch1_Intro}

\include{ch2}
\include{ch3}
\include{ch4}
\include{ch5}
\include{bibliography}
\end{document}

\tableofcontents

\clearpage %Need this, otherwise the start of arabic numbers is off set by 1

\pagenumbering{arabic}
\include{ch1_intro}
