TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
This could be done with a third-party tool such as FrameScript for Windows
($149US, www.FrameTools.com). I have a partially developed script that
applies master pages based on paragraph formats. When you run the script, it
applies the correct master page based on the location of paragraph formats
that you determine ahead of time. You are interested in a finished version
of the script, send me a small sample document, and I will e-mail you a
price. Thanks.
