Hi Debby!
You're welcome.
I'm glad my example made sense. *smile*
Blessings.

Hi Lynn!
Thanks for such a good illustration of how a blank page should look with
the note that it is a blank page. That is the way I thought it should be,
but thanks for confirming that I was on the right track. The only blank
pages, or at least pages that appeared to be blank were at the verry
beginning of the book before the title page. I haven't come across any
blank pages yet in the text of the book.
