Now I get it. Thanks. Intersting anomaly. I created a template, then created a new document from the template. On the original template I just had just one page. When I created a new document "from template" and then added "insert pages" for quantity 20 the layout and margins were OK but the guide I had put on the template only appeared on page 1. I'll try modifying the template with a text frame on one side instead and see if that duplicates. Anyhow I am on my way. -- John Culleton Resources for every author and publisher: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/shortlist.pdf http://wexfordpress.com/tex/packagers.pdf http://www.creativemindspress.com/newbiefaq.htm http://www.gropenassoc.com/TopLevelPages/reference%20desk.htm
