   A couple of weeks ago someone was asking about how to prevent a page number
   from appearing at the bottom of the first page of an article.  Does anyone
   have the answer?  I use \pagestyle{empty} and still get a page number 
   at the bottom of the page with the title.  Even when I insert a garbage
   page as my first page, the page with the title always has a page number!

Dan,

Are you using \maketitle?  If so, in the definition of \maketitle, \thispagestyle
is set to plain as you can see from below:



\def\maketitle{\par
 \begingroup
   \def\thefootnote{\fnsymbol{footnote}}
   \def\@makefnmark{\hbox   
       to 0pt{$^{\@thefnmark}$\hss}}   
   \if@twocolumn               
     \twocolumn[\@maketitle]   
     \else \newpage
     \global\@topnum\z@        % Prevents figures from going at top of page.
     \@maketitle \fi\thispagestyle{plain}\@thanks
                    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 \endgroup
 \setcounter{footnote}{0}
 \let\maketitle\relax
 \let\@maketitle\relax
 \gdef\@thanks{}\gdef\@author{}\gdef\@title{}\let\thanks\relax}




To get around this you will have to modify \maketitle and replace
\thispagestyle{plain} with \thispagestyle{empty}.
