Hello Shelby, You've got lots of positive answers for links and tables. I can offer you good replies for two out of three parts for your #3 question. For a distribution CD you can create a PDF front end file called, say contents.pdf. In lot's of examples I had this file created in some sort of graphics package, but it could also be done at a simple level in Frame. In this contents.pdf file you can describe graphically the library stucture of your docset. Then for each book use acrobat to create links to your book pdf files. You could also create a catalog of the PDF library that would allow full text search of all your PDF files from one simple search request. Put a link to this in your contents.pdf file. Contents.pdf should also have a link to a How to use use this CD file. The only thing I can't reply positively to is how to create interbook links automatically in Frame. If there are just a few easily identifiable interbook links it's not too much trouble to do this in Acrobat. Maybe there is a way create interbook links that resist the PDF generation in Frame7 but I have not tried it yet. Sorry I can't send you examples by mail, my server would choke with a few hundred MB of attachments. Cheers Ian
