I said "depending on the contents of a page". With the title page, it works at the beginning. If you put a large graphic on the page the \thispagestyle doesn't get rid of the page number. Tabular environments play tricks with this too. Try it :-). -D -- Q: What is the difference betwee open-source and commercial software? A: If you have a problem with commercial software you can call a phone number and they will tell you it might be solved in a future version. For open-source sofware there isn't a phone number to call, but you get the solution within a day.
