HTML Mapping: Headings vs. Page Breaks

Is there something about Frame's HTML conversion function that won't 
allow a page-break heading to be followed by a non-page-break 
heading? I've used this process for several years and don't recall 
this particular quirk. Macros have not been required to achieve 
desired page breaks.

Here's the scenario:

Two headings (D-Head Undergraduate and D-Head Graduate) are defined 
in the HTML mapping tables (both book and document) as headings (H*) 
and new pages (Y). Another heading, Major, is defined in the mapping 
tables as a heading (H*) but not as a new page (N).

D-Head Graduate is always followed by body text. D-Head Undergraduate 
is usually followed by Major, then another subheading or body text.

HTML page breaks work correctly for D-Head Graduate. When D-Head 
Undergraduate is followed immediately by body text, page breaks also 
work correctly. Page breaks do not work correctly for D-Head 
Undergraduate when followed by another heading, such as Major. The 
first heading appears on its own page, and the Major heading and 
subsequent body text that should appear immediately below D-Head 
Undergraduate instead appear within another page (an earlier one that 
starts the section and lists the headings linked to sub-pages in that 
section).

Because there are about 100 instances of this problem, I don't want 
to manually cut-and-paste to repair it. What am I doing wrong? Please 
don't suggest another HTML conversion tool, it's not possible at this 
time.

Thanks for any help,
Karen
