Thanks Dian, I am not a specialist in Word and I am not sure I will not be lost with= the sub docs, TOC and indexes. Don't you think this procedure is too complex for a user like me?

A file is 32 meg. However, I've seen folks TRY to use much larger files= . Rather than ONE large doc...ESPECIALLY with lots of images/graphics...y= ou'd be MUCH better off using separate sub docs and then you can use the RD field code to merge the docs together for a TOC/Index. And you can use the PAGEREF with a hidden field to get cross references to display across docs and = also for pages numbers to automatically roll across separate docs. Here's a TechTrax article with SOME details about using references, wrapping them with the INCLUDETEXT field to pull that info into other docs. It's= kinda tricky...so if you decide to go that way...feel free to email me directly at dian@xxxxxxxxxxxxx and I'll pass along that code. http://pubs.logicalexpressions.com/Pub0009/LPMArticle.asp?ID=3D172 And also read this article I wrote: http://www.mousetrax.com/mastdoc.html Good luck!

Instead, I'= d use a separate document for each chapter, with a separate 'Contents' document which contains hyperlinks to each individual chapter. If you are worried about page numbering, you can use field code switche= s to start numbering from any point in each individual document so that - fo= r instance - chapter 6 page numbering starts at 68. Hope this helps (whilst not actually answering the question, because I don't know the answer!).
