I'm in Unstructured Frame and doubt I'll be moving to structured any time soon. I'll contemplate a different template for the quckstarts. It may be the best solution in spite of the still unconventional outline structure. (My 3rd grade language arts teacher wouldn't approve of a level 2

If I did every topic separately and added more for chunks smaller than a topic, I'd be around 1000. I'm the lone writer so I don't work on the network. My current work is always local (regular backups made to other locations of course!) so that's not part of the speed problem. All I know is
