Missing page count on copy write page about msu-thesis HOT 8 CLOSED

This problem was caused by the fact that you had no abstract in your document, only the public abstract. The {publicabstract} environment produces unnumbered and uncounted pages, and should be used only in addition to a regular abstract, which you didn't have. Since the thesis office requires the two abstracts to be formatted the same way, there's no way to tell that the public abstract was not the regular abstract. I'll update the documentation to explain this more carefully, and for future versions add some checks that obligatory components are in fact there.

Hi thanks for the bug report. Since this has been in place for many years without a problem I'd like to understand a bit better how it arose. Can you tell me exactly what you had in the \frontmatter pages in your thesis? (Actual content isn't relevant, just which parts). Thanks

from msu-thesis.

That is what I got:

\begin{document}
\frontmatter
\maketitlepage

\begin{publicabstract}
\input{MSU Thesis/Abstract/PublicAbstract}
\end{publicabstract}

from msu-thesis.

Thanks, but this doesn't match with what your initial bug report shows. The note from the thesis office mentions a dedication page, and your fix suggests fixing the copyright page. Can you show me all of the things you have between \frontmatter and \mainmatter in your document?

The bug report was fixed by altering the .cls what I have provided on the past comments are chunks of the .tex

Thanks a lot. Before I accept the fix I need to understand the actual source of the problem. I suspect that it reflects a change in what is/is not supposed to be numbered relative to previous years.

from msu-thesis.

@amunn that could indeed be a relative new change, indeed. That was also my thought when I ran into it.

But with this fix, my dissertation got accepted by ProQuest.
