Thank you to everyone who responded! I thought I had it fixed when I
got my first response, but I didn't have the whole problem solved. I
ended up taking everyone's emails, printing them out, and trying them
ALL. And at last, my woes are over. Fred & Richard, you guys are the
bomb(!), but everyone contributed something. If we shared an office I'd
bring you all cookies.
Thanks again!

Subject: RE: Pagination in FrameMaker 7.0
Just to amplify a bit on Richard's answer, the "Next Available"
pagination option (and the "Read From File" option, too) can
only be set from the book window. If you access the
pagination properties from an individual file's window, all
you'll see are "Right" and "Left" since the other options
only have meaning in the context of a book.
Also note that you can set the pagination properties for
multiple files simultaneously by highlighting a group of files
in the book window, then right-clicking on the selection
and choosing Pagination from the pop-up menu.
