George: She is RIGHT!! Do not be afraid to do as she says and they will help you bring it all together. My wife rights books using WORD and has many chapters and pages in these books with images, Its bad news when you lose a lot of work My recommendation is keep you documents under or no more than a 100 pages its easy to bring them together and print do any thing you might want! Messing with large documents is like playing with fire sooner or later you will get burnt! Gene George. I know you may THINK this procedure may be too complex, but let me tell you that old Word troubleshooters like me and Dian can vouch that when you create Word docs as big as you are describing, you are only asking for trouble. If you insist on making it one document, I highly recommend you make a couple backup copies and keep them updated and in a safe place cuz large documents like that are SO prone to corruption and major problems. Like all things, a little time spent in the beginning can save you a LOT of time (and headaches) in the end. And, nobody, and I do mean nobody, knows how to handle large documents better than Dian....she is da woman :-) Linda ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, send an email to mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word "unsubscribe" (without the quotes) in the subject line.
