Hello everyone, I'd appreciate some advice as to how to apply a new template to a set of documents in a book. The source documents have been created with no specific template to be part of a book. The thing is that they are full of manual overrides and tons of useless para tags and formats. There is no coherence in the numbering and referencing definitions, just as if the person who did it was a Word user that thought of creating a document for a one-time-only print and never thought of the future use of all the information in it. I have right now a template that roughly imitates the look of the existing documents and I'd like to put all the content in the new template. How can I do that in the most automated and fastest way? I'm speaking of a service manual of 16 chapters with multi-level numbering and lots of cross-refs of technical content. Thanks a lot in advance for any suggestions. Roberto
