It should only normally do that if you were using the "Do Contents
from Cursor" button and the cursor happened to be on page 70.

Sometimes saving as DDL does clean up problems with a document. If
doing this does not result in the Contents applet working properly
then let me know: we can try and find out what is going wrong.

You can save the entire document as DDL in one go. Alternatively you
can save individual stories, but my experience of the latter is that
the resultant DDL does not always load successfully: it appears that
one or more objects end up missing from it.

Each chapter has its own master page. However, when you add a new
chapter you can tell it which chapter to base the new one on, and its
master page gets copied to the new chapter.
