AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a command used in document preparation to remove the page number from the title and abstract page while maintaining the correct numbering for subsequent pages. The user recalls using a specific command but struggles to remember its name. A solution is provided, which involves placing the command "\thispagestyle{empty}" after the "\maketitle" line to eliminate the page number on the title page. Additionally, the command "\setcounter{page}{2}" is suggested to ensure that the content page is correctly numbered as page 2. The user mentions using amstex and expresses uncertainty about the applicability of this solution to other styles.

I've tried Google, but since I'm not sure on what the command is actually called, I'm having some difficulties finding this command. What it does is to remove the page number on the page with the title and abstract, yet keep the internal structure unchanged, that is, the page after the front page is still marked as "2". I've used it before, it just can't remember what it was. Thanks.

After the maketitle line I put
\thispagestyle{empty}

And after

\end{titlepage}

I put


\setcounter{page}{2}

This way the second page (which is the Content page in my case) starts at page 2.

I am using amstex and I am not sure how much of this is specific to ams style.
