To clarify, what you're talking about are called master pages, not templates (I point this out so that you can find information about them easier in the help, book, and archives, and so people will recognize your problem more quickly). What do you mean by "each time I add pages"? If your main flow has Autoconnect turned on, FM adds new pages as needed to accommodate additional text. To check, select a main flow text frame, select Graphics > Object Properties, and in the dialog box, look in the Flow section on the lower right. When it adds new pages, FM bases them on the built-in Right master page if the document is single-sided, and it alternates between the Left and Right master pages if the document is double-sided. To check, select Format > Page Layout > Pagination. On your last body page, select Format > Page Layout > Master Page Usage. Make sure Use Master Page is set to Right/Left. Under Apply To, set the range to include all but your first page, make sure Even (Left) and Odd (Right) are selected, and click Apply. If none of the above help resolve the problem, something weird is going on -- post again with more information (including what happened when you did the above). HTH! Richard G.
