[Tex/LaTex] Continue Page Numbers in Appendix

appendicespage-numbering

I am writing a thesis using LaTex and I was told that my numbering cannot restart in the Appendices, which seems wrong to me but I'm not going to argue it. I am using the report class and the appendix command. It seems that the appendix command restarts the numbering when it is used. However, I would like to use the appendix command but not reset my page numbers.

Any help in this matter would be great.
Thanks!

Best Answer

\appendix in report class does not reset the page counter so something else must be doing that. Most likely calling \pagenumbering so

  \renewcommand\pagenumbering[1]{}

would disable that.
