And there's the rub! Your few hundred (thousand) new pages are being 
incorporated into thousands (millions) of pages of older documentation 
that varies in age and some of which may be typed.

Nothing obvious there.

Even in word processing layout apps, errors happen. An IPC that has all 
illustrations on EVEN pages may have a table misbehave. A procedure book 
where all sections and procedures need to start on specific sides and 
illustrations have numerous constraints may lead to all sorts of 
'interesting' problems. (Trust me.) The TPLBI lets you scan the thumbnails 
for errors.
