Greetings all;
As I am getting ready to start publishing some of the Writer Guide's
chapter files I am running across a problem stripping the front matter
from the files to be able to then combine them into the complete book.
The problem is with the heading for the TOC. As it is not a part of the
TOC, it has to be deleted separately. This can be done, but the page
break cannot be deleted causing a blank page to remain between the
chapter tittle and the the start of the text of the chapter. I foresee
this creating havoc when it comes time to compile the complete book.
Is there a way to delete this extra page, or will it be taken care of
when creating the full book.
Thanks in advance for any insight that you can Proved
Keith

Hi Keith,
I don't understand where the page break is coming from in the chapter I'm
looking at. I'm using AOO41WG4. I see a hard page break between the ToC
and
the Introduction. I don't see one between the paragraph with the heading
"Publication date and software version" and the heading for the ToC but
something causes the ToC heading to be on a new page. Does that agree
with
what you see? What exactly do you delete to get the blank page? Should I
be
looking at another document?

Francis & Michele;
Yes That is what I see. What I do to create that blank page is to first
select the Toc Header and change the style to

Ok, I made some progress. The key is that the page with the Copyright
heading and the pages with the ToC are in section. Here is what I did on a
copy of AOO41WG4.
-----
Select the menu Format -> Sections.
Select Section 1 on the left. That is the only section in this document but
others may have more sections
Click Options
Set the background to red
Click OK twice to get back to the document and confirm that the text I want
to delete now has a red background.
Go back to Format -> Sections.
Pick Section 1.
Click Remove.
Click OK
The red background is now gone and I can delete the text and ToC without
generating a blank page.
----
I noticed that in the Format -> Sections dialog that Section 1 is set to be
hidden when MD != 0. I guess that MD somehow represents Master Document and
that the section should be hidden if the document is part of a master
document. I do not know whether MD is a user-defined variable or if it is a
predefined. I will look into that but I have other things to do at the
moment.

Thank you so much Francis. I will follow those directions and see how it
all works out. Again, thank you so much!
Keith
