Thanks everyone who replied!!! This solution -- plus looking at the doc at 400 percent magnification -- did the trick.
After everyone validated the right way to do this, I took a closer look at the blank pages at the beginning of the second file. The second file was supposed to begin with a tag that starts at the top of the page. Yeah, it started at the top of the page, but prior to that page there were multiple blank pages. I finally found a teeny tiny cross-reference marker stranded at the very beginning of the chapter. After I deleted it, voila! the chapter paginated correctly! Thanks again!!!!
