Problem in deleting empty pages

[Shmuel]

I also get that error sometimes. When I click OK, it deletes the page, 
but every time I update the book it comes back. It's probably due to a 
conflict with something defined on a master page. If anyone one has a 
solution, I'm be very greatful. This is a real nuisance, and Frame is 
supposed to be stable :)
