Thanks, Ken. This helped me get started and I think I have it all figured out. I removed all of my blank page definitions and references. I also had to change to force-page-count="end-on-even". I appreciate everyone's help with this! Cindy Hunt -----Original Message----- From: G.

You expressly indicate in your choice that the two conditional pages must be "not-blank" to be used. Therefore, you don't have any available page master to use for your blank page. I'm surprised you didn't get an error message along the lines of "cannot find an available page master for this page" ... you should have. Since you didn't, I guess the formatter you are using is arbitrarily picking a page geometry to use that is giving you the appearance you are seeing. If you include in your set of choices a combination of conditions that provides for blank pages, then you should get what you want. Is there a reason you have blank-or-not-blank="not-blank" or can that now be removed so that you do have an available page master for a blank page? I hope this helps. . . . . . . . . . . . .
