3) Can I ALTER the EXISTING second half of the document (i.e. the part AFTER where the centrefold pages would go in) into a NEW chapter, which I could then re-paginate?

Can't see a simple way of doing that... besides chopping the second half out, creating a new chapter and importing the chopped part into that...?? Hmm.

I think this is the way. You have to master splitting a chapter into two parts. You can do that by either copying everything after the middle or by deleting everything before the middle (and in a copy everything after the middle).

I'd set off with the document, use the copy and paste chapter facility to make two chapters with the same contents. Then delete the relevant material from both. Insert a new chapter between them for the pictures. Finally fiddle the starting page numbers for the last chapter.

Wonderful! - yep - that did it - at least with a bit of tweaking!

Many thanks, David.
