Thanks for the warning about the master doc feature. I've been told
that we have Ventura (as part of Corel 5) inhouse so I suspect I may
end up using that if I have to. The one proposal has 5 volumes, 4
of which are limited to 25 pages but the one volume is 75 pages. I'm
not really looking forward to this in Word. Especially if I end up
with alot of graphics to put in there. As we use Corel 4 for most of
our graphics work, how does this import into Interleaf?
