How to Remove Header in LaTex
- by Tim
Hi,
I would like to not show the name of each chapter on the header of its each page. I also like to have nothing in the headers for abstract, acknowledgement, table of content, list of figures and list of tables. But currently I have header on each page, for example:
Here is my code when specifying these parts in my tex file
\begin{abstract}
...
\end{abstract}
\begin{acknowledgement}
...
\end{acknowledgement}
% generate table of contents
\tableofcontents
% generate list of tables
\listoftables
% generate list of figures
\listoffigures
\chapter{Introduction}
\label{chp1}
%% REFERENCES
\appendix
\input{appendiximages.tex}
\bibliographystyle{plain}
%%\bibliographystyle{abbrvnat}
\bibliography{thesis}
Here is what I believe to be the definition of the commands. More details can be found in these two files jhu12.clo and thesis.cls.

Thanks and regards!
EDIT:
I just replaced \thispagestyle{botcenter} with \thispagestyle{plain}. The latter is said to clear the header (http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Page_Layout), but it does not. How shall I do?
Thanks!
