With all due respect, "the way it's supposed to work"? If Adobe gathered 100 Technical Writers together and asked them whether they would rather A) be able to create a new Master Page with a different page size in the same file; or B) generate a book even if they wouldn't otherwise need one and create a separate file dedicated to the different page size and then add it to the book and then go about setting all of the pagination etc. etc.... I think the vote would indicate how it's "supposed" to work, and I doubt 'B' would get the majority of the votes.
Changing a Master Page size and having it not change all of the other Master Page sizes, now THAT would be trivially easy. :) Tim >>>> So it's not that it can't be done, and it's not that you have to resort to a "workaround." It works as designed; the "workaround" is the way it's _supposed_ to work. Adding a new file to the book and setting its numbering properties is trivially easy. Richard G.
