extra pages

[Roger Shuttleworth]

Hi Debbie

Google "end of flow" site:lists.frameusers.com, and you will see several messages on this theme. Here is a sample, by Fred Ridder:



1) Have you saved the file?  FrameMaker only deletes empty pages at the end of a file when you do a Save.

2) Are you sure the page is really empty? Do you have the View> Text Symbols option turned on? If not, turn it on and see where
the "silicet" character (the end-of-flow character that looks like two intertwined S'es) is. If it's on page 6, there's your problem.

3) Is it possible that there is a graphic frame (even an empty one) on page 6? Use Edit>Select All in Flow (Ctrl+A) to select everything
in the document an see if anything is selected on the last page.

4) Are you using one or more custom master pages? If so, is page 6 assigned to a custom page or is it a default page? If you have
assigned a custom master page, the page is no longer considered empty because you've applied formatting.

5) Have you tried explicitly deleting the page (Special>Delete Pages)?
Hope this helps!

Roger

Subject: extra pages

I've been using FM for nearly ten years, but recently had to relearn it
  after a couple of years away from it. We are using Frame 7.
  
   
  
  One of my documents has several extra pages at the end that I can't get
  rid of. There seems to be an extra end-of-flow symbol floating near the
  end. There is only one flow in the document.
  
   
  
  I know I have dealt with this before, but my brain can't reach back far
  enough to find the answer. Any help would be appreciated!
  
   
  
  Please respond directly, as I only receive the digest.
