What you may be thinking of is exporting a Frame book to a single Word file. We think that's a Very Bad Idea (for most books, the file would be too large for Word to open), but it is possible. And actually, the same method could be used for what Yves wants; it's just not automatic. The basic idea is to create a new Frame document, then import each document in the book into it by reference as an inset. For Word, you then convert that "wrapper" document; but you could just as well use it in Frame. If you wanted, you could convert all the insets to text in Frame too, so that the wrapper file had no dependencies on the original files. Just double-click in any inset, and in the dialog choose All Text Insets and click Convert. Note that there can be problems with this whole idea, in addition to the obvious size one. For example, the numbering may not be the same; the book file controls the chapter numbering, and if it is gone, the numbering will revert to whatever the wrapper chapter is set up for. So every chapter may be numbered "1"... A Framescript to do the basic combining would be simple. It's the cleanup that can't really be automated. ;-) HTH! -- Jeremy H.
