Thomas - I agree with your comments. Thomas also hits the nail on the head and refers back to one of my earlier points - that certain functions (text insets) are not explained very well in the user guide. It does not suprise me that the user guide is not considered too highly to warrant a re-write - this is the software industry <g> Cross references do have their place. I try not to use them if I can help it because they take up time to maintain, but due to the complexety of our software product cross references are mandatory to give the reader some help. After all, if software developers did their job properly and produced intuitive software, us technical writers would be out of a job. All too often I am required to use my creative writing skills to compensate for poor application design. I am trying to find a good workable solution to my problem. If I can re-use content I can save time and money. Exactly how I can re-use content and what tools I should be using is still open to debate. For now, I use FM. Tanks for the tips on the control file - I will have this mastered shortly <vbg> Steve
