Seting page style

Whether page number itself should be displayed or not can be controlled using page style as:

\pagestyle{empty}

Other possible page styles are:

plain
Just a plain page number.
empty
Produces empty heads and feet - no page numbers.
headings
Puts running headings on each page. The document style specifies what goes in the headings.
myheadings
You specify what is to go in the heading with the \markboth or the \markright commands.
