As far as images are concerned, they are not embedded in the sla file, so as long as your outposts have a similar directory structure, just make sure that images for each site are given the same names and they will automagically be included image_page1.png image_page2.png etc Open your sla file in a text editor and you will see how images are handled As for text, you have an editing problem, not sure how you can handle that. Good luck -- Owen
