David,
 you are quite right. I should have checked on the *present* 
situation. My info was based on the experience I had just after you 
introduced the Chapter copy facility which is already quite some time 
ago. I tried to reproduce this (as proof) using older versions of 
OvPro but have not succeeded. It can also have been a problem with the 
computer at that time.

So to make a single document: copy all the chapters in one document 
(Menu > Page > Copy chapter  and then  Menu > Page > Paste chapter, 
then select Before or After current chapter.

Save the whole document while the caret is at the beginning of the 
Index (= last chapter); then when loading the document opens with a 
view on the Index.

Instead of "window" read "frame".
