Until recently the texts of books accepted for publication were divided into separate files, one file per chapter. That’s the way publishers preferred them. More recently this changed (and I was one of those who pushed for this change!), not only because computers are bigger and faster but also because a whole range of systematic changes have to made to a text––eliminate rogue characters, eliminate multiple spaces, eliminate or modify styles, correct dashes and quotation marks, perform spelling check, etc.––and it was a pain to do this ten or fifteen times rather than once. Some such files are many times bigger than 500 kb––and that’s without illustrations. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.org
