Master Page vs Body Page Text Boxes - How to Auto-Delete Blanks?

[Lisa Freeman]

Hello Fellow Framers,

I am having a dilemma with Master Page Issues.

FrameMaker 10, Structured. I've been using FrameMaker for 15 years and never run across this issue.

The left and right master pages have a text box in the footer area set to be editable on the body pages. This is needed to track various revision dates. When tags are displayed and edited, etc., more pages are added to accommodate the expansion of data as they normally would be. But, when the tags are turned off and it's time to create the output file (either printed or PDF), the additional pages cannot be deleted because Frame doesn't see them as "Empty".  The text box from the master pages is still on each of the additional pages.

The pagination is set to "Delete Empty Pages". I have tried creating a blank master page with and without the same and different text flows, tried disconnecting the pages, and every other trick I know.

Maybe I've just been looking at this for too long, but if anyone can point out something obvious that I am missing, please help!

Thanks in Advance!

Sincerely,
Lisa Freeman
