Will the individual customers' manuals need to be updated or are they one-offs? Not counting third-party add-ons, there are at least three ways to handle such variations: 1. conditional text (much more flexible in recent releases) 2. text insets (i.e. File > Import > FIle > Import by Reference 3. assemble a set of modular .fm files into different books (an .fm file DOES NOT have to correspond to a chapter) You can also use a combination of the three.
