I am new to LaTeX and have compiled my thesis two sided, having previously done it one sided. The Appendix was compiling fine but now the word 'Appendices' appears on an extra page at the end of the last chapter (image attached), then the Appendices start as normal.

enter image description here

I did a test compile (code below) and when I \include a separate document as the appendix, the problem occurs. If I put the text from the appendix in the code below (replacing where it says '\include Testapp\testapp', it doesn't add the page and word. But my appendices are quite long and I would prefer to keep them separate and \include them like I do the separate chapters.

Here is the main code:

\documentclass[12pt,twoside]{book} %,PageStyleII,times,numbering,print,custombib
\usepackage{geometry}                       % See geometry.pdf to learn the layout options. There are lots.
\geometry{a4paper}                          % ... or a4paper or a5paper or ... 
\usepackage{floatrow}
\usepackage{setspace}
\usepackage{caption}
\usepackage{subcaption}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{lscape}
%\usepackage{float}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\captionsetup[figure]{font={small}, skip=1pt, singlelinecheck=false}
\captionsetup[subfigure]{font={small}, skip=1pt, singlelinecheck=false}
\captionsetup{labelfont=bf}
\captionsetup[table]{font={small}, skip=1pt, singlelinecheck=false}
\raggedbottom
\usepackage{lineno}
\usepackage{mathtools}
\usepackage[all]{nowidow}

\usepackage{tocloft}
\usepackage{xpatch}


\usepackage{enumitem}


%\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{cite}
\usepackage{natbib}
\renewcommand\bibname{References}
\usepackage[nottoc]{tocbibind}


\usepackage{appendix}
\usepackage{chngcntr}


\usepackage{longtable}


\usepackage{color, colortbl}
\definecolor{lightgray}{gray}{0.9}


\floatsetup[table]{capposition=top}


\usepackage{makecell}


\begin{document}


% ******************************** Main Matter *********************************
\mainmatter


\chapter{Assessing the evidence for microenvironments in craters}
\label{chap:micro}
\chaptermark{Microenvironments in craters}


Blah blah blah


%********************************** %5th Section  **************************************
\begin{appendices} % Using appendices environment for more functunality


\include{Testapp/testapp}


\end{appendices}


\end{document}

The Testapp code is just a document that says:

\appendix{Appendices}
\appendixpage
\addappheadtotoc

\section{Testapp here}


Blah blah blah

Is this something that happens with the Appendix package and can it be fixed? Thanks

    \appendix does not have an argument. And because you are using the appendix package and already \appendixpage, you should either remove \appendix{Appendices} and \appendixpage (see the documentation of appendices environment and its options in section 2 of the manual of package appendix) or use it without argument and remove the appendices environment (see the first example at section 2 of the manual of package appendix). – cabohah Sep 15 '23 at 11:22
  • That's sorted it out. Thanks very much for this. Much appreciated. – martianmeteo Sep 15 '23 at 11:49
