Renaming and resetting Chapter in LaTeX

Question

Hi, I have two questions in LaTeX:

1. How to reset the chapter counter to 1 or to set it to any other number?;
2. How to rename Chapter 1 to Paper A? To rename it to Paper 1, I have this solution: \renewcommand\chaptername{Paper}. The first chapter then becomes Paper 1. But I can't get to rename 1 to A so as to get Paper A.

Thanks in advance...

Answer 1

For the first: \setcounter {chapter} {1}

For the second, try using \Alph - this might work: \setcounter {chapter} {\Alph{1}}

See this.

Answer 2

This is from memory, but for the first:

\setcounter{chapter}{1}

And for the second:

\renewcommand{\chaptername}{Paper}
\renewcommand{\thechapter}{\Alpha{chapter}}
