page number not appearing on first page of chapters
I am trying to complete my dissertation. The pages are numbering correctly,
but the page number is not showing on the first page of each chapter. Is this normal? Is there a way to get it to not show on page one but show on subsequent first pages of chapters? |

page number not appearing on first page of chapters
It sounds as if your chapters are separated by section breaks and "Different
first page" is enabled. It's not unusual to omit a page number on the first page if the number is in the header, or you can put a number in the footer (centered) on the first page of the chapter. -- Suzanne S.

Does that mean that I should just use the new page command for each chapter
rather than the section break? "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: It sounds as if your chapters are separated by section breaks and "Different first page" is enabled.

I wouldn't advise this if the page numbers are in the header, since it is
conventional not to have a header on the first page of a chapter. If the page numbers are in the footer and you have no header, and there is no other necessity for having section breaks, then, yes, you can get by with a page break, but you'd be better advised to instead add "Page break before" to the formatting of the style you use for the chapter number or title (that is, the first paragraph of each new chapter). -- Suzanne S.

Thank you. As I don't have headers I will make sure I add page break before
to the formatting. Susan "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: I wouldn't advise this if the page numbers are in the header, since it is conventional not to have a header on the first page of a chapter.
