Joan Melgaard has <<...three files (TOC, body, index) in
Framemaker 5.5 that I want to make into a book. I think I am
making the book properly, putting the files in the correct
order, and printing it as a .pdf. But when I do this, I get three
pdf files when I only want one.>>
If the other suggestions don't work, you can still merge the
files manually in Acrobat to produce a single book. I don't
recall the details, but basically you insert the TOC and index
files into the body file, then drag them to the appropriate
location. Check the Acrobat documentation for details.

"Perhaps there is something deep and profound behind all those sevens, something just calling out for us to discover it. But I
suspect
that it is only a pernicious, Pythagorean coincidence." George Miller, "The Magical Number Seven" (1956)
