Hi Klaus,
I continue to use point pages and Rick's plug-ins to maintain them.
Point pages are critical to a couple of rail industry books that I
manage that govern how trains are operated in interchange. One book
is updated quarterly; the other every six months. Pagination must be
kept frozen between the annual releases of these books. Although they
are available as a PDF download, the changed pages in the interim
releases are printed in hardcopy and mailed to subscribers. If
changes to a page cause text to reflow to an extent that creates a
new page, then I must create point pages for those pages. For those
who have never heard of such a thing, point pages are decimal-defined
pages that are inserted between regular pages. For example, pages
102, 103, 104, 104.1, 104.2, 105, 106.

In one of my older documents about FM I see a section about "point-pages":
- FM function Freeze Pagination and Unfreeze (limited functionality)
- Reference to Rick Quatro's plug-ins PointPages and
PrintingPointPages with detailed
documentation how to use. Nothing of this is left on Ric's site.
For online-documentation there is no need for such a mechanism,
because an updated
version of a long document can be published without ruining the forests.
But IMHO there are still paper demanding situations of thick
manuals, which can not
be re-distributed as a whole for every update.
How are such situations handled nowadays?
