Using the same chapters for several books

Could anyone give me a brief overview of how to use the same chapters for several books, or the right terminology to find this in the online help? -- Regards, Shmuel Wolfson

Using the same chapters for several books

Hi Shmuel, This is actually very easy and is one of the primary strengths of FrameMaker. Once you have the chapter files created, it is as easy as adding them to whatever books you want to include them in. For example, you might have Chapters 1 through 5 created. In one book you want to use the

Using the same chapters for several books

The mechanics in the last response are correct, but don't forget the numbering. FrameMaker allows two types of numbering: document (what you call a chapter) and book. This is necessary as some documents are not in a book but stand alone. So, when using documents in different books, you may

Using the same chapters for several books

When including a FrameMaker file in more than one book, you need to pay attention to any differences between the books, such as: * layout and formats - if master page designs, paragraph, character, table, cross-reference, and variable formats are different in the books, you'll need to import
