. as I said, I duplicated the numbering settings in the book file too. (You mention pagination settings, but they are different to the numbering settings.)

I have a multi-file, multi-chapter book. In the numbering properties of each file I have set the page numbers to continue from previous file. (I have duplicated this in the book file.) I have updated the book file: repeatedly. And still chapter 1 ends on page 17 and chapter 2 starts on page 13! I haven't seen such weird behaviour in FrameMaker before. Any clues?
