You could try making a Frame doc that looks as you want, then export to Word, but I suspect your PDF images would all be of page 1 in Word. >Another benefit to importing RTF's is that my footers would stay accurate. >(That is, I'll keep my page x of y and so forth).

Or just do the whole job in Frame and forget Word. ;-) -- Jeremy H. Griffith, at Omni Systems Inc. <jeremy at omsys.com> http://www.omsys.com/
