I next manually deleted the empty page 3. To my surprise, the two
local frames, at the bottom of page 2, also vanished.
I suspect I'm continuing my seminar on "how not to develop software"
this afternoon...
There's a long standing catch with Ovation, what is the current page? It
is not the page with a selected frame on, or the page with the text
caret in. Or as most users would like the page they happen to be
thinking about 8-)
Rather it is the page nearest the centre of the window, i.e. the page
number shown in the info palette.
Anyway when you use the delete page feature it can be tricky to know
which page you are deleting. This is especially the case in facing page
view (like your document). The delete page window does show you which
page is being deleted.
If I delete page 1.3 then things seem to work as I'd expect. If I delete
page 1.2 then what you describe happens.
I don't know, just an idea?
