Steve,
It takes a plug-in to use different templates for different book
components created when you open an XML document. If the only reason you
are considering different templates is to use different master pages and if
the page size is the same throughout the entire book, why not just define
all master pages for all components in one template?

I have a question regarding the handling of master pages when FrameMaker
book components are round-tripped.
If a book contains several document types (Preface, Chapter and so on),
the master pages can be applied as appropriate using master page mapping
tables. Thus different document types can contain different sets of master
pages and corresponding different master page mapping tables.
When setting up a structured application, each structured application can
only use (as I currently understand it) a single EDD and template. This
mechanism therefore does not seem to allow for different master pages and
mapping table sets per document type, and the only workarounds would be:
. [Good] To ensure that all document types in a book contain the same
superset of master pages and the same master (universal) page mapping table.
. [Cumbersome] To construct separate struct apps for each document type.
Am I correct, or are there mechanisms that can be used to find another way?
