Re: Incorporating external documents containing tables, into a book
Hi John Ugh. I assume you need consecutive page numbering, bookwide TOC, links, bookmarks etc? I don't know a good solution, but one ugly workaround is to combine the files at the PDF stage instead of the FM stage. To do this, you'd futz the page numbering in Word so each file started on the desired page, create 8-page FM placeholder chapters in the FM book, make your PDFs from FM and Word, use Acrobat to replace the placeholder pages with the correct pages, and manually fix links and bookmarks.

FYI, importing all 200 pages of the PDF at once could be done with FrameScript. If you are interested in exploring this further, please contact me off-list. Thank you very much.

Re: Incorporating external documents containing tables, into a book
I cannot combine the PDFs as each external document goes to a different chapter. I'd have to futz the page numbers 25 times. That's not the hard part...I'd then have to manually edit the PDF output of the book to merge into the deliverableya know...this might be a last-resort optioncreate a place holder, then use Acrobat to replace pages. hmm...let me think about this.

Re: Incorporating external documents containing tables, into a book
If the Word content is stable and you can lock it down, I'd try: 1. Save as RTF 2. Import it into Frame, maybe using the Japanese RTF import filter (I havean't tried that in 11 yet) if the regular RTF can't cope. 3. Save Frame files out as MIF to clean them up, 4. Open and manually break the tables to get the pagination correct. I suspect it'll mean one short table segment per page, but you can fudge the numbering if necessary.
