You need a top level schematic that contains a sheet symbol for each of the linecards and make sure that the file name in the sheet symbol matches the filename of each of the line card schematics. For the complex to simple to do its "magic" the way the manual describes it, the linecard sheets would be created with paste shortcut operation after copy the original. But since you need to fixup all then designators in each copy anyway (complex to simple doesn't do this, so it doesn't really do much), thus create copies of the original with the correct filenames. If you did it right complex to simple should cause all of the line cards schematic sheets to suddenly appear indented in the navigator under the main sheet.
Hope this helps a little because it was a little confusing the first time I did it too.

Ok, I have a top level schematic sheet Motherboard.prj, with 8 subsheets Linecards.sch. Is there a trick to getting "Complex to Simple" to work? I'll email my database to anybody who wants to give it a try.
