as an alternative to saving DDL of one story (which in my case is the 
same as one chapter), i tried simply using the clipboard:  copy the 
story and paste it into the new Demy document.

that seems promising.  text and embedded pix have appeared in the new 
document.  until i scroll to the end of the text and find it has 
stopped short.  just short of a 450K JPeg, as it happens -- is that 
relevant?  (as DDL, that story measures 3.2Mb in total, including its 
embedded pix.)

i could, if nec in light of Martin's message, delete all the pictures, 
do the DDL business, then place the pix again.  would be tedious, but 
at least every pic has a caption (as a paragraph in the text) to mark 
its position.

of course i could cut&paste via clipboard in sections.  but can i be 
confident that chunks aren't missing?
