<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm at my wits' end. Let me list the relevant code
of the book and point out the problem:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>\documentclass{book}</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>\usepackage{makeidx}</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>\makeindex</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>\begin{document}</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>\frontmatter</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>\tableofcontents</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>\pagestyle{myheadings}</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>\chapter{Preface}</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>\markboth{book name}{Preface}</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>\mainmatter</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>\chapter{Blah Blah}</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>\markboth{book name}{Blah Blah}</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>text</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>\backmatter</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>\chapter{Index}</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>\markboth{book name}{Index}</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>\printindex</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>\end{document}</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I need the \chapter{Index} to
get the Index in the Table of Contents and its ancillary command \markboth to
get the page headings right. But it generates a blank page except for the title
"Index" and enters that page in the Table of Contents. Then starting on the next
page is the compiled index, also with a title "Index." </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Can you help me? Thank
you</FONT></DIV>
