Good point. 

I musta been tired not to offer that. 

Backup your files. </CYA> 

Create a document that contains the master pages at the correct size with the correctly sized columns. 

Open your book file and highlight all the FM chapters you want to change. Use File Import Formats and select only page layouts. Choose to remove overrides. 

Actually, I just did this on a 600+-page project that was US-letter and, as it was to go to press, I was ordered to change the size of all pages and columns. There were no side-effects for me, but you made a backup just in case you failed to anticipate something, right? 

Cheers, 

Sean
