I've been creating a new User Manual based on an existing Book (originally created by a consultant). I want each Chapter to have a minimum of 2 pages (Right and Left sides, like any regular book).
I know I'm missing something simple, but with a virtually empty Chapter 1 (it has Headers, Footers, Chapter title and an End of Flow marker) I have 4 pages instead of 2. My Appendix A is correct, as is my "Chapter+.fm" and my "Appendix+.fm". I've compared as many settings as I can think of but I can't see where this is controlled.
The settings under Format > Page Layout > Pagination (for all 4 docs) are as follows:
Double Sided, 1st Page Side: Right
Make current Page Count Even
The settings under Format > Page Layout > Master Page Usage (for all 4 docs) are as follows:
Use Master Page: Right/Left
Apply to: Current Page (1)
Even (Left) Odd (Right)
Note that the unselected option "Pages: x to x" lists First Page as 1 and Last Page as 4, so FM is acknowledging that there are actually 4 pages in this document - even though there should only be 2.
What setting am I missing?
