Hi All,

Following the excellent advice in Bill Coan's article at 
http://pubs.logicalexpressions.com/Pub0009/LPMArticle.asp?ID=164, I am finally 
able to create a document that has correct pagination for the main body, an 
appendix, and an extra supplement. The problem is that each section has an odd 
number of pages, and when I follow the final odd page in the main body and 
insert an odd page section break to begin the appendix, an extra blank 
(unnumbered) page appears between the main body and the appendix. This blank 
page does not appear in the Word document in Normal view, but it does appear 
in the Print Preview.

The same thing happens between the appendix and the supplement.

I have three pages in each section for a total of nine pages in the document, 
but it appears as an eleven page document in Print Preview. The final product 
should paginate as shown here below my signature.

The extra two blank pages are not simply an artifact of the Print Preview 
function. When I print the document in PDF format via Adobe Acrobat, I 
actually do receive an eleven page document.

How can I suppress these extra pages without altering the now correct 
pagination of the three sections?
