(thanks to everyone who replied to my question about figures in LaTeX)

My current problem [:-)] is, that when using the 'report' style with
\pagestyle{headings}, on pages where new chapters begin, the page number
is printed at the bottom instead of the top right corner (as on the other
pages). Is there any way to fix this (is it a good idea to do so at all? I
think it looks ugly if page numbers appear at different positions)?

Thanks,
Marinos

Look at some real books. i doubt if you will find any with what you
want - the pagen number on the upper right hand corner of the first page
of a chapter. You will find some with the numbers consistenetly on the
bottom. However, the*{myheadings} or whatever happens to coincide
with what I think looks best, my thesis style guidlines (one of the few
I agree with), and the \pagestyle{myheadings} default. If you want page
numbers consitently on the bottom use \pagstyle{plain}.

Wow! Shows how often I use report; this is another "article/
maketitle" fantasy. Here's a little extract from (2.09) rep10.sty:

\def\chapter{\clearpage
\thispagestyle{plain}%

(there is of course more of this...)

\chapter wants to be on a plain page; to discourage it, you have to
say:

\chapter{blah}
\thispagestyle{headings}

You may indeed find that you don't like it thus modified; if that's
the case, try \thispagestyle{empty} -- it's fairly common to have no
decoration of a chapter page.

Thanks to all those who responded. I finally found a way to do exactly
what I wanted, i.e. display the page number at the same position as
is done with \pagestyle{headings}, but without headings on \chapter{}
pages. In case anyone is interested, I put the following 2 definitions
in a .sty file, which I added last to the*style options:

\def\chapter{\clearpage\thispagestyle{justnumbers}

(sorry about the ugly code, but I basically just did a pure syntactic
transformation without knowing anything about TeX semantics)

P.S. This doesn't work with twopage.sty.

For this purpose, the same effect could have been achieved by

Which isn't exactly pretty, but there's less of it than you were using
:-)
