Hi Shelley,

I don't have a good answer for you, but I wanted to at least let you know that you aren't alone in your assessment. The clunky relationship between FM books and XML roundtripping probably has its roots in the fact that there really is no such thing as a "book" in XML, so the engineers of FM chose a certain way to sort of mimic it. In my work, I've found it better to simply avoid the whole book thing in XML, dealing with XML at the file level only. This has required some customization of FM, though, to regain the book structure (along with the book benefits) once back in FM.

If I were more inclined to fuss with the book during roundtripping, I might have figured something else out and could be more helpful to you. I'm sorry that I am not.
