Hi Richard, The combined MIF is used somewhere downstream and is therefore non-negotiable. I can start with individual MIFs; that's why I am wondering if there is a magic way to combine the individual MIFs. Thanks.
Rick I think you're right -- the MIF part is almost beside the point; they want a single FrameMaker file for an entire book. That's not generally a very good idea. In addition to master pages, there could be numbering and doc property issues. Not to mention the file size. I'd look into _why_ they think they need a single MIF file and look for alternatives that achieve their goal. Otherwise, I think you have to go with your first thought and address the issues that arise. Master page mapping could deal with that issue (although it would probably mean greatly expanding the pgf catalog). I'm glad I don't have to do it. :-) Richard ------ Richard G.
