Pagination FM 11

[Judy Bragg]

I really appreciate all of your input so far.  Thank you! Unfortunately, 
we haven't yet found the answer. I did trip over something that may 
"click" with someone though.

In each case, if I change the conditional settings to "Show All" and set 
the pagination settings to "Next Available [Page]" and "Delete Empty 
Pages", I don't have the blank pages at the end. When I change the 
conditional settings to show only the conditions appropriate to the PDF, 
I get the blank pages in the FM as well as the PDF. I can see the 
pilcrow marking the end of the document so I don't know what FM thinks 
is beyond that point.
