adding blank pages without affecting page numbers

[Peter Gold]

Hi, Milan:

You don't need to make a book within a book; just break the six-page
chapter into separate files and set the numbering and pagination as I
suggested earlier.

If it's a long book with many pages, the suggestions to add the blanks
in Acrobat are probably most efficient.

HTH

Regards,

Peter
