Page Numbering Problem

[Howard Rauch]

FrameMaker 7.0 (there are still some of us)
Windows XP Pro

What am is doing wrong or what do I need to do? The problem I am having is that FM now adds a blank page no matter what settings I use and I can't figure out why. The only change from the previous version is that the chapter now has two pages instead of one, but FM insists on adding a third page. I compared this version's settings with the previous version. They are the same. I also compared the settings for the upstream and downstream chapters. They are also the same. I've also compared the books' settings -- Ditto. The book settings are as follows:

Under Format/Page Layout/Pagination
- Double Sided (I have left and right master pages)
- Left Side (the chapter should begin on the left page)
- Delete Empty Pages

Under Format/Document/Numbering/Page
- Continue Numbering from Previous Page in Book

This chapter should be pages 18-19. When I renumber the book, Frame adds a blank page 20 and changes the Pagination to "Make Page Count Odd."

The settings are the identical for the chapter. I also checked the upstream and downstream chapters. They are set up the same way.

Any thoughts? (I am nearly to my wit's end with this problem.)
