I don't know about this one. Presumably, your document class has 
\abstract reset the page numbers. So the solution is likely to look 
in report.cls, find the abstract command, copy it to your preamble, 
change newcommand to renewcommand, and delete whichever bit 
resets the page numbers.


Absolutely brilliant! Thank you so much for your help!

I'm not very familiar with LaTeX, so I'm probably doing it all wrong,

After some trial and error, I added the first part to the preamble,  
with \titlepage removed and newcommand replaced by renewcommand  
as suggested. This seems to work. Hence, in the preamble:


  \renewenvironment{abstract}{%
  \null\vfil
  \...@beginparpenalty\@lowpenalty
  \begin{center}%
\bfseries \abstractname
\...@endparpenalty\@M
  \end{center}}%
 {\par\vfil\null\endtitlepage}


2. I have two major Parts in my document. The first Part consists  
of sections (no chapters), with the second Part including  
chapters. I don't want chapters in the first section, for both  
inline effect (e.g. don't want new pages), and Table of Contents  
listing (i.e. don't want bold and no dots. What I _would_ like, if  
possible, if for the sections to be numbered similarly to  
chapters. i.e. 1 instead of 0.1, with the rest of its formatting  
remaining as a section. Is it possible to change the numbering of  
the sections (in the first Part only) without changing anything  
else?



Yes:
\let\oldthesection=\thesection
\renewcommand{\thesection}{\arabic{section}}
in ERT at the beginning of Part I. Then at Part II:
\renewcommand{\thesection}{\oldthesection}
again in ERT. I think.


This works perfectly!

3. In the second Part, I'd like the chapters in the TOC to be  
listed as Chapter 1. Foobar rather than 1 Foobar. i.e. I'd  
like it to be consistent with the inline chapter headings.


Look into the titlesec and titletoc packages. I think one of those  
will do what you want.


Again, I've probably done this totally wrong, but this works. Again,  
for future reference…


Firstly, in the preamble:

\usepackage[compact]{titlesec}
\newenvironment{notintoc}
{\addtocontents{toc}{\protect\setcounter{tocdepth}{-1}\ignorespaces}}
{\setcounter{secnumdepth}{2}%
\addtocontents{toc}{\protect\setcounter{tocdepth}{2}\ignorespaces}}

Then, just before the chapter begins, insert clear page, then ERT  
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Chapter 1: Yourtitle}, which adds the  
nicely formatted title to the TOC.
Then ERT \begin{notintoc}, and the write the chapter heading itself  
(e.g. Yourtitle). After the heading, ERT \end{notintoc}. This part  
suppresses sending of the title to the TOC.


From preliminary testing, this seems to work well, with my headers,  
etc. looking as expected. I don't really know exactly what the  
preamble settings do, but they seem okay. I find the titlesec  
documentation a little opaque.

section. Is it possible to change the numbering of the sections (in  
the first Part only) without changing anything else?


3. In the second Part, I'd like the chapters in the TOC to be listed  
as Chapter 1. Foobar rather than 1 Foobar. i.e. I'd like it to  
be consistent with the inline chapter headings.


Thanks in advance!
Pete.

I hate to bump this, but my thesis is close to its due date, and I'm  
hoping to have these issues sorted so I can print it!


Would anyone be able to help me at all?

Thank you!
Pete.
