Hi paul, I tried that but it still isnt working... I didnt get any errors
so I assume I have the package. Is there anything else that I can try?
Another possibility that I wouldnt mind is to make a separate file somehow
that has my bib in it and removing the first page there. I am turning in a
hard copy, not a digital one, so any way to get that first page of my bib
un-numbered will work...
Thanks again for all the help
==================== original message above =========================
When I wrote my thesis, I was required to have page numbers on EVERY
page except the first couple. So I can't help you with a nice technical
hack. However, I did have to resort (for various reasons) to a very
low-tech kludge. If you're desperate for a just-good-enough solution,
you might try simply printing the page as-is, page number and all. Then
take a nice sharp knife blade or razor, and carefully scrape away the
ink. One of the professors in my department also swore that a
high-powered, pulsed infrared laser will blow the ink off the paper,
but not damage the paper itself (this is something I didn't try,
though).
In any case, I was able to sneak a couple of wrongly-numbered pages
by the hard-copy examiner using the trick. When it comes down to the
wire, you might do the same.
Best of luck!
