Hmm, that's some food for thought. I do edit them fairly often to add a TOC and sometimes a few index entries but that's a convenience more than anything else. There are times when I'll take two or three similar articles/papers of a support nature and make one document out of them and a TOC and/or Index can be pretty useful then, especially for attributions. But there are always more than one way to do things; I'll have to give that some thought. Thanks much!
