Can't Get "Delete Empty Pages" to stick

[Gillian Flato]

Allison,

When I have a Frame file that is doing inexplicable things, I save it as a MIF file and look at the code there. I tend to see an entry that scrolls across 5 lines and contains gibberish. After I delete the tag and its contents, everything goes back to normal.

Fred:

I've done all that and Next Available seems to (occasionally) reset itself as well. I tried resetting things at the file level only when everything else I could think of had failed to solve my problem (desperate times call for desperate measures, and all that).

Everything works fine in all the other files, it's just this one that's decided to misbehave (as Rick Quatro helped me with the initial setup it's not surprising that it used to work perfectly - before I did something to screw it up).

I think I'll try again on Monday. Maybe I'll try recreating it from scratch. Again. Good thing the file is tiny.

Thanks, Alison

By way of clarification, you need to look for the "Next Available" setting in the file *following* the one that appears to have the pagination ptroblem. If the following chapter is set to start on a right (recto, odd-numbered page) page rather than Next Available, it will force an empty left (verso) page in the *preceding* chapter if that chapter ends on a right (recto) page.

Also noet that you can ony see (and set) the "Next Available" option when accessing the pagination properties from the book file. If you open a file independently, you will only see the Left and Right options, because "Next Available" depends on having something preceed the file in question; you can only set the behavior that will apply if you print that one file by itself.
