You are quite correct (unsuprisingly) :-)
In my tired stupor it looked wrong and I couldn't work out why.
Inserting a new page before page X did just that and the extra frames
were where they were expected. What caught me out is that the text was on
the page that I had just inserted instead of on page X.
This now makes perfect sense - the master frames are linked - adding a
'page break' put the text back on page X and left my new page blank as
expected.
Anyway - now is a good a time as any to say what a joy it is to use
OvPro, Artworks2, TableMate, RISC OS fonts (incl. Sibelius's OpusIV) and
PS3 - thanks to those authors.
I can produce quite complex, attractive documents as .pdfs to print
(often as booklets) at school using the colour laser printer.
I find there is a better chance of students actually reading attractive
documents - nasty looking photocopies don't really get a look in these
days.
Today it came up in conversation with my senior students that I use an
Acorn. They remembered Acorns from their primary school days as 'kids
computers'.
I then pointed out all my work was published using RISC OS and added that
if Macs were so great with design and publishing then why are so few
teachers producing anything that looks any good?
Of course most teachers are using MS Word. Let's not go there. Poor souls.
