Problem with master pages and pagination settings

[Heiko Haida]

Hi Pat, 

I do not think that FM 12 would produce a different result. 

Did you consider to use a "MasterPagesMap" (on reference page)? 

pls. see -->

Points 3-5. 

(Although this is for FM 7, is still applies to newer versions of FM, I
guess.) 

Best regards -- T.H. Haida

>> I have a template with a custom master page on the first page. Pagination is set to Before Saving & Printing, Delete Empty Pages. The template is 1 page with boilerplate content. Content in each document flows onto new pages. 
>> 
>> Here's the problem: the new pages all use the custom first master page, not master page Right. 
>> 
>> I've discovered that changing the Before Saving & Printing setting in the template to Make Page Count Even in the template corrects this (new pages use master page Right) but these documents aren't supposed to have empty pages. 
>> 
>> The 2 fixes I've developed are: 
>> 
>> - In the template, set Before Saving & Printing to Make Page Count Even. After content is final in a document, set it to Delete Empty Pages. 
>> 
>> OR 
>> 
>> - In the template, add empty paragraphs to flow onto a second page, then set Before Saving & Printing to Delete Empty Pages. In a document, delete the empty paragraphs after inserting real content.

>> Any other suggestions?
