Peter (and Ken), Thanks for the thoughts. I was pointed to the method for adding disconnected pages and then using a process to re-connect text flows and that seems to work. I cannot find any reason why some chapters just randomly stopped adding pages (at random lengths) but this approach does seem to work. I guess just more joys of using FM.

It might be possible that they became disconnected by a bug during some processing operation, or that they were either manually disconnected, or were manually created as separate flows. In the old days, overfilling a text frame caused a black line to appear inside the bottom of the frame, if display text symbols was ON. You can identify a text flow by clicking in its text, and looking in the status bar. A handy technique to identify disconnected text frames is to zoom to the smallest page display size, and maximize the screen window, to display as many pages at once as possible, then Select All to highlight text in all the connected text frames in the flow. If necessary, search Help and Google for "framemaker disconnected text frames."

I have a multi-chapter technical book with prefaces, TOC, chapter, appendices, index and so forth. For some reason all of a sudden some of my chapters and appendices will no longer automatically add pages as I add content. There is no (desired) flow change, just fairly vanilla page and pagination and auto-numbering throughout the book. I use the "save as even pages" setting and that seems to work for the various documents. Any ideas on what I am missing?
