page numbering in LaTeX
 

I am working on a literature project, and my school rules say to put the abstract in twice, both in Norwegian and English.

I have gotten LaTeX to accept this, but the page numbering is not good. it seems that I get this order (page numbers in ()

titlepage
Norwegian abstract(I)
blank page (II)
English abstract(I)
blank page (II)
foreword(I)
toc(II)

then everything works fine
introduction(1)
etc.

will I have to manually set the counter for each part of the preface to get a continuous count? Using report class

This may be helpful.

that did nothing, and all page numbers were shown in arabic. I use \pagenumbering{roman}. I got around the problem using \addtocounter{page}{2} after the first abstract. that seems to have solved the problem. I wanted to do this automagically, but now manual works. I also no longer use the abstract environment twice; for the second version av the avstract, I use \chapter*{Abstract} (and \addcontentsline to get it in the toc)
