Even/Odd Page Layout Issue

[Baruch Brodersen]

 Hi Alison,
Open the individual files in your book file, then right-click each file in
succession and choose Pagination. Try applying "Read from File" in the 1st
page Side drop-down. If that fails, change it to Next Available. If that
doesn't work, try deleting extra pages with Special > Delete Pages. Update
the book and see if it sticks.
