All: Some time before IBM released DITA to a puzzled and unsuspecting world, a colleague of mine solved the problem of repurposing/reusing small fragments of content using text insets. Basically, the components of a book consist of shell files that contain nothing but text insets. This scheme allows relevant text insets to be included in many different training manuals, depending on the target readership and course requirements.
Problem: while you can Open All Files in a book, there appears to be no global way of opening all the text insets in all the components of a book. Please tell me there is some secret keyboard shortcut or undocumented feature that can do this. Please tell me we do not have to resort to FrameScript. Please tell me there is an alternative to searching for every text inset in a book and clicking Open Source as each is highlighted. Please tell me Adobe are working on this right now for the mythical (?) v 8.0. You can imagine the benefits for spell-checking, etc. globally over the entire content of a publication, and other global tasks, e.g. fixing cross-references, etc. Regards, Hedley -- Hedley Finger Technical Communications Tools & Processes Specialist MYOB Australia <http://myob.com/au> P.O. box 371 Blackburn VIC 3130 Australia 12 Wesley Court Tally Ho Business Park East Burwood VIC 3151 Australia <mailto:hedleyDOTfingerATmyobDOTcom> Tel. +61 3 9222 9992 x 7421, Mob.
