I looked and here is the screenshot of the character specifications :

p-sep caracter specifications

I can’t find a difference with the rest of the text around. The p-sep box also is in the correct paragraph style.

This is a mystery. I have found 3 p-sep boxes like that so far, in different chapters.

I was impressed InDesign could do that, but I guess this feature hasnt been developed yet.

Where can I learn more about your script ?

Hello Colleen, thank you for your answer. I checked it out, and if I understand it correctly there is a code I can add to remove the last blank pages. I could do that, but then how would I adjust it in my next book chapter ?

To further explain my issue here, I have several InDesign documents, all of them together constituting a book.
Each of my InDesign document is a book chapter, which doesn’t always start on the same page: sometimes it starts on the right page, sometimes the left one, depending on which page the previous chapter finished on.

So, when I made big modifications in one chapter, which now finishes on a left page, I have my right page blank. I could delete this right page which is blank with the code in the link you gave me, but then I still have the problem that my next chapter still starts on a left page. I guess my question is how can I have my next chapter to start on a right page (and have all my other following chapters to move along as well) ? What will happen at print if I have an end of chapter on page left and a beginning of chapter also on page left: will it print two digital pages on the same physical page?

I just checked online and found that I could change the page number of my 1st chapter page to an uneven number so it would move to the right page instead of left. I could manually repeat the procedure with the other chapters. Is there a quicker / automatic way to do this though ?

Also, what would happen if to avoid having to do this all over again if I make new changes in a chapter, I would just turn off the “facing pages” boxe to make it a single page document ? Would my book still print on double sides ?

Great ! Thanks for the advise about doing it by groups of 10.

I just sent you an email with screenshots; please let me know if you need clarification because it’s all in french.

If that would be possible, I wonder one more thing:
Could the character style for italics I created have an effect on our table of content, which recognizes the different books based on a specific character style each book title is associated to ?

I havent taken a course yet on Lynda.com about building table of content (so I dont know much about it), although I intend to.
