[Tex/LaTex] First chapter after List of Tables starts on page 2, should be 1

page-numberingtable of contents

My LOT spans two pages – one is numbered ix the other 1. The first chapter starts with page number 2. I would like my first chapter to start with page number 1.

So my contents page looks like this

Contents

List of Figures ………. viii

List of Tables …………. ix

Introduction ……………. 2

Aims & Objectives …………7

and so on……….

\documentclass{report}

\end{table}

\end{document}

Best Answer

Add

\clearpage

after your \listoftables and

\setcounter{page}{1}

just before your first chapter.
