I did it for the revised masterdocument of the Getting Started guide: Cover and frontmatter --> then the TOC --> then the fil;es for the contents of the guide As I have seen no other replies except the 2 from Digro and Jean, I am going to assume Lazy Consensus and move forward with my initial proposal.

The way around this is to create an ODT file from scratch from the bottom up. Regards Keith Here is how I do it. 1. Compile the book using the .odm 2. Save (or export?) the compiled book to .odt 3. Open the .odt 4. Go into Format > Sections and remove all the sections. This embeds all the sub-documents into the one .odt Jean Jean, Thank you so much, Step 4 is what I was missing when I tried to do it before.
