Thanks everyone. The Special > Delete Pages did it. I guess 6 months of FrameMaker experience hasn't make me an expert yet :-(((.
FYI: - Selecting the files and right-clicking on Pagination showed that "Read from File" was already set for all files. - My Consultant didn't create any Conditional Text - but I did in the files I used as the basis for this new Book. However, before deleting all content I turned on all Conditions so I could see everything. After deleting all content I deleted all Conditions except "Comment" as they weren't relevant to this new product. So I "shouldn't" have had any problems caused by Conditional text, but shouldn't and couldn't aren't quite the same thing ;-).

I want each Chapter to have a minimum of 2 pages (Right and Left sides, like any regular book). I know I'm missing something simple, but with a virtually empty Chapter 1 (it has Headers, Footers, Chapter title and an End of Flow marker) I have 4 pages instead of 2. My Appendix A is correct, as is my "Chapter+.fm" and my "Appendix+.fm". I've compared as many settings as I can think of but I can't see where this is controlled. The settings under Format > Page Layout > Pagination (for all 4 docs) are as follows: Double Sided, 1st Page Side: Right Make current Page Count Even The settings under Format > Page Layout > Master Page Usage (for all 4 docs) are as follows: Use Master Page: Right/Left Apply to: Current Page (1) Even (Left) Odd (Right) Note that the unselected option "Pages: x to x" lists First Page as 1 and Last Page as 4, so FM is acknowledging that there are actually 4 pages in this document - even though there should only be 2. What setting am I missing?
