Dave's solution is a good one, too--the only problem is that placing items from a library can lose page positioning information. So you'll need to come up with some means of storing and then reinstating the item's location after the place operation.

I have to get over my fear of library corruption--for a purposes like this they should work just fine (provided the library is created on a local volume, and not on a network drive).

You'll still need to move page layout specs--master pages, margins, columns, etc., using the get/set method. I'd do that first, as it can have a big effect on the way things get placed from the library.

Thanks,

Ole
