Poor Reggie! My BN used to truncate everything I worked on at least once, so it's a miracle I got anything done with it. Btw, what version are you running? I had 4.01 but upgrading to 4.02 drastically reduced the file munching. It now happens only very rarely, and usually only on rtf files with formatting excesses. About the page breaks, don't panic. The ideal is to have books with all the page breaks in the right places. But since the original complaint was about books with absolutely no page breaks and how difficult they are to navigate, Mike was saying that as long as a book has some breaks, like the ones Word arbitrarily throws in, it could probably be accepted because it would be navigable if not accurate. Ok, did I just add to the confusion? The key is don't worry too much. Everyone on the list has their own personal pet peeves, so just do the best you can and don't feel like you have to take things personally. I think that's the best way of maintaining sanity here on this list. <lol>
