[Tex/LaTex] How to avoid numbering of Appendix

appendicestable of contents

I have only one appendix in my report. But it appears in the table of contents and title page as Appendix A. How can I change it to APPENDIX?

Best Answer

As commented above (by me and Harish Kumar), you can use

\chapter*{\appendixname}\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\appendixname}

Note also the daleif's comment.

[Tex/LaTex] Remove “Appendix” title from Cover Page

I would suggest to simply remove the page option when loading appendix so that the page with "Appendices" is not shown.

But if you really want to have the "Appendices" title to be on the same page as your appendix contents, here is a way (I don't recommend to do it, of course).

Add the following lines just after \begin{appendices}

\clearpage
\begingroup
\let\clearpage\relax
\begin{center}
  \Huge\bfseries\appendixpagename
\end{center}
\chapter{stuff} \label{App: AppendixA}
\endgroup

and remove the page option when loading appendix.

MWE:

\documentclass[12pt, oneside]{report}
\usepackage[left=1in, top=1in, bottom=1in, right=1in]{geometry}
\geometry{letterpaper}
\usepackage{setspace}
\usepackage[demo]{graphicx}
\usepackage{indentfirst}
\usepackage{abstract}
\usepackage[toc]{appendix}

\begin{document}

\tableofcontents
\thispagestyle{empty}

\chapter{Introduction}

\begin{appendices}
\clearpage
\begingroup
\let\clearpage\relax
\begin{center}
  \Huge\bfseries\appendixpagename
\end{center}
\chapter{stuff} \label{App: AppendixA}
\endgroup

\begin{figure}[h]
\centering
\includegraphics[scale=0.62]{stuff}
\end{figure}

\chapter{stuff} \label{App: AppendixB}
\begin{figure}[h]
\centering
\includegraphics[scale=0.75]{stuff}
\end{figure}
\end{appendices}

\end{document}

Loading titlesec, you can declare
