Hi,
I have studied the two sites suggested to me and I would like to clarify some issues. E.g when creating a template for the whole book starting with the title, preface, TOC etc do I have to open a new page by inserting a page break or there is some other way?

Another thing is that inserting breaks is suggested as being done before the page. Is there a reason for this; wouldn't it be better after?

Tks

Here's a technique I have used with long engineering reports for a defense contractor. I would put the Title Page, TOC, List of Figures, Acronym List, and each chapter in a separate file. When merge printing, each file started on a new page. While I haven't tried it yet with OO.o, it worked with Wordstar, MS Word, and Ventura Publisher.

Hi,
Can anyone suggest a really good advanced how-to to create a master doc in writer for a long book? The ones on line are really too skimpy and do not offer a good explanation on how to go about it.

You might try this:
http://documentation.openoffice.org/manuals/oooauthors2/0213WG-WorkingWithMasterDocuments.pdf

While it's not specific to master documents, there's some useful information to help set up proper page styles for the front matter at docsymmetry.com <http://www.docsymmetry.com/layout.html>

If the info at the link James Knott suggested doesn't do it, post back with specific questions.

Good luck.
