Are you saying that with a 10 page document for example, that the user is getting a blank page every 2 pages? If this is the case, then I can't see it being a banner problem. I'm *guessing* that it might be because of page size settings if it's happening in the middle of a document. Of course I reserve the right to be wrong! Smilie
