Hi, I've produced a document in book class and am trying to get the table of contents, list of tables, list of figures and the preface to be numbered with roman numerals, and then the body of the document should begin with number 1 in arabic. If I do \frontmatter table of contents list of figures list of tables [Preface material] \mainmatter [Chapter 1 material]
Then I get the table of contents in roman numbers. But the list of figures begins again with number 1 in arabic and continues in arabic through the end of the preface after which it begins with page 1 again in the first chapter. If instead, I do table of contents \frontmatter list of figures list of tables [Preface material] \mainmatter [Chapter 1 material] This way, all the front matter is numbered in roman numbers (which I want), but the numbering starts over again in the list of figures (which I don't want). How do I get all the front matter to be numbered consecutively in roman numbers, followed by numbering in arabic numbers starting with 1 in the main material? TD
