Like I said previously Helge, the insertion of "\pagestyle{plain}" &
"\pagestyle{headings}" in the places you described worked for what I wanted
for the current project. But I spent some time trying to figure out how to
use \pagestyle{myheadings} with somewhat less success.
I found that By using \pagestyle{myheadings} instead of \pagestyle{plain}
I could then get "SOME" control over the headers of my "chapter*" with
\markboth{header text}{other header text}
One problem was that it wouldn't print on the 1st page of a chapter* But
that was only a minor aggravation. The real problem was that the
"\pagestyle{headings}" I'd inserted just before the first normal text of
the first normal chapter, no longer caused it to resume the default
headers that I'd normally get for the chapters. But kept on using the
page header(s) I'd set with "\markboth{header text}{other header text}"
What would I have to do to get the normal headers to resume after setting
up a chapter* to use "\pagestyle{myheadings}" ???
And if you could be so kind as to point me at a good {example rich} how-to that
covers doing something similar to a "document class book" with \pagestyle{fancy}
I'd be grateful. Cause I failed to get that working at all... <sigh>
Sorry to be such a pest.
