I would think that a page that does not participate would have a choice of being the same page number as the last page that did participate, or one plus the page number of the last page that participated. However, I don't always think of all of the nuances and would leave it to others to propose ways of meeting real-world publishing requirements. I'll do my best to identify what my students see as requirements for future revisions. Thanks, Paul, for taking the time to comment! ....................
