Hi all,

Yet another problem with Chapter*. I have some appendices at the end of the
book which I put as Chapter* instead of Chapter so they wouldn't be identified
as "Chapter 58: Appendex A" on the page header or in the table of contents. It
didn't work out too well.

The page headers for Appendex A shows the header for the last chapter made
with Chapter instead of Chapter*. In other words, the Appendix's page header
shows something like  "Chapter 57: Lastchaptertitle".

I'm using a document class derived from class Book, and it's waaaaaaay too
late to change to Memoir or Koma or any of those, and I don't like them
anyway.

I've attached a 2 chapter sample that clearly shows the problem on its PDF
output's last page.

Another problem is my super-duper date-showing header reverts to the one last
shown in a legitimate chapter.

I spoze there are two ways I can handle this. I could make the appendices
chapters and include ERT like this just before they start:

\renewcommand{\thechapter}{ }\renewcommand{\chaptername}{ }

I'd need to do something similar with the date variable used in the date
header, which isn't that hard.

Or I could find some way to make Chapter* influence \thechapter and
\chaptername and the like.

Any ideas?

Thanks

For the header problem you could put \markboth{}{} in ERT after the start of the appendix. That will clear the headers entirely.
