Let me know if it works so I can put it into my bag of tricks, too. So far it's not working (search can't find anything with \xCABC [I'm searching for Text]). The tough part is that this book has two books in it and I did the first one two months ago and changed all the curled parentheses

I started my Frame 12 experience with a new convert to ebook/pdf project. I created an unstructured book because I quasi-know-what-I’m-doing in the unstructured world. However, I think to publish this book as an ebook, it has to be structured. I have had a long running affair with trying to
