Dang Extra Pages!

I'm getting so frustrated now... I've tried every trick I know to get my book to stop putting extra pages in at the end of each chapter. I have only L/R Master Pages, have set every file to Delete Extra Pages, etc., yet every time I regenerate my TOC, they're back. HELP Trish

The Delete Extra Pages pagination setting is only part of the story. What setting are you using for 1st Page Side? If it's Right, that's your problem right there because if one chapter ends on a right page FrameMaker can't start the next chanter on a right page without inserting a blank left

Yea, turns out it was a format issue. I used a blank page for my title page, and Frame didn't like that. I got a suggestion off-list to import my formatting information, and when I did that, all was pretty much right with the world (except for a minor pagination issue). Thanks, Ron Combs,

Hi Merry First, back your file up before you play with text frames on Master pages. You can get unexpected results. Also, remember that changing the text frame on a master page changes it for all pages that use that master page. You can change single body pages (in the same way as I describe

When you set pagination from the book file, there is also an option for "Next Available", which is what you need to use to eliminate blank pages. This setting has no meaning in the context of a single file (in an individual file there are only left and right pages with no predecessor), so it is
