Pagination FM 11

[Matt Sullivan]

Ah, if I understand correctly, the problem is with your FM pagination settings. Your files may need to have Format > Page Layout > Pagination settings changed to Don't Change Page Count. I'm not sure whether Double or Single-Sided is best for your purposes…your mileage may vary!
