Unable to delete blank pages in FM 2022

Hi,
I thought I had sent this post a little while ago but I don't see it, so I'm re-adding it.

I have a book file that has 4 empty pages in one file. I have tried various ways to delete them, as per the help information that is available. They have not been deleted. What is also strange is that 3 of these pages has a footer with the chapter name and page number, and 1 page does not. And of course the start of the next chapter has an incorrect page number because the book counted the blank pages.
What am I missing?

Any help would be great!

Thank you.
Cheers,

Elizabeth

Go to Track Text Edits->Preview Off and see whether there is deleted text at the end.

Make sure they are actually empty.
Turn on Text Symbols.
Enable any and all Conditions.
set Color Views to show all colors.
One of the blanks (the last) might also be explained by the Pagination settings in the first para of the next page with content.

The Delete Page feature of FM is rarely useful.

Hi,
I have followed your suggestion, but the pages remain empty. There is nothing on them other than the 3 that have footer information.

If you put the text cursor in the last line of the page with pre-blank text, and → forward, does it ever pause on any of the blank pages before getting to the next intended-content page?

Yes, the cursor goes to the first blank page.
