It is unfortunate that generated documents are not structured, but it is also rather easy to use FrameMaker's conversion table feature to apply a structure to them, as these are usually not very complicated hierarchies, if one does not have FrameScript. Of course, this has to be redone after generating a new/updated version of the files (TOC, LOF, etc.) or at least, before you need a completely valid fully structured book, which itself is an ideal task for automating with FrameScript... :-) - Lester ------------------------------------------------------- Lester C.
