Thanks for all of the responses. I should have noted
that I want this all in one document so I can make a
booklet on my large format printer. And I do want the

done with it.
As I said, if your printer is a PS printer it is pretty easy.
Is it worth it to make a feature request to Finale to make text block improvements? I know Finale isn't a word processor, but in the emerging world of desktop publishing, I think it would serve them well to improve the way the program handles text. I'm not expecting a spell checker or anything fancy, but asking for the tabs to jump to a fixed distance doesn't seem like much to me. Anyone agree?
Although I can see that this would help in some situations, I don't think I want MakeMusic spend too much time on this. To really be useful they would have to add a real word processor, with layout functions. Personally I would rather see other things improved before this is done. YMMV
However, what I would like to see is support for PDF embedding on the Mac. This is where OS X is headding, and I think a lot of the programming is already included in the System itself. That would make embedding TOCs very easy. Create your TOC in Word, Quark or whatever you like, and include it as PDF inside the Finale Doc.

I would think they could buy the code for including text handling and formatting.
And while PDF embedding may be possible under OSx, it isn't part of the Windows environment so I would rather see text handling (even if it only included the ability to import RTF documents and display/print them as they were created) included before PDF embedding.
That old Windows/Mac thing again!
