One thing you have to remember - "Update Layout" only works from the
page you are on to the last page. If you are on Page 3 when you
update, then anything needing updating on pages 1 and 2 will NOT
happen, thus giving you the odd results you are seeing. This is not
as odd as it sounds, as they assume you are working through a piece
from page 1 to the end, updating as you, and there is no need to
update PREVIOUS pages that you have already presumably updated.
Short answer: always update layout while on page 1, and your
inconsistencies are solved.

although I am checking the 'update page layout' and even doing it
manually
just in case auto layout isn't working, I can still find layouts
changing
as I move around the part from page to page to check what has
happened.
i.e. I can suddenly find the part spilling onto extra pages or the
spacing
no longer matching the settings I had specified.
Is there a bug; is there an alternative/better way to adjust
spacing (I do
not want to use 'space systems evenly', at least not until I get
the right
number of pages)?
