Sounds like the breakage occurred between one Word section and another. I find 
this extremely believable.

Well, I don't know - the only explanation is that the material was pasted from 
Word,

Pasted? Whoah... That means that you won't give FrameMaker the chance even to 
exercise a Word import filter. Import filters contain loadsa' code designed to 
weed out Wordities.

and there must have been a massive amount of garbage screwing up the document.

Undoubtedly.

 My solution was to recreate the info on the first page, apply the first page 
 master page, then delete the corrupt first page.  So far, holding my breath, 
 but it seems to have worked.

My first try would have been to *import* the Word content into a new FrameMaker 
document, clean that up as required and cut and paste from there. But I'm glad 
you've fixed the problem.

Well, the text was imported from Word. That explains EVERYTHING. lol :D

Should have thought about disconnected text frames myself.

While autoconnect was selected, it doesn't mean the current frame and next 
similarly tagged frame are connected. Autoconnect will only cause 
FrameMaker to create a new page should content in the current text frame 
overflow.

Next time, you can connect two frames by selecting each frame in turn and 
choosing FileCustomize LayoutConnect Text Frames.

Patricia,
In the Numbering properties of the captions, check whether you have two
different series labels:
For example, 

S:chapnum-n+\t and F:chapnum-n+\t

Or perhaps you have n written for the problem paragraph. Perhaps it
was imported from Word or something.

HTH,
David

Subject: Figure number updating

Help - I've just discovered in what I thought was a finished book, that
there are two Figure chapnum+1s.  How is this possible?  I'm using the
same template that I always use and the figure numbers have always
updated automatically. Now I find that in every chapter in this guide,
there are two Figure x-1s.

Very many TIA,

Regards,

Patricia
