Reply To: Book features vs single document discuss

There shouldn’t be a major reflow issue of reflowing one line. Sure it may reflow for a few pages, but one can easily lose a line by tracking or make a line (depending upon whether the book is going longs or shorts for bad breaks) and get the page break to it’s original break.

I don’t understand why you have problems with running headers on that many chapters. Using the running head variable makes it super-easy.

But I don’t do academic books, so it’s possible you face different challenges.

To Allan: At my company we have to make out file one long document. No books. No separate files. Just one file. That is what many of the major book publishers I work with want and demand. I don’t do many 1,000 page books, but have done a lot of 800+ page books. Sometimes, and I mean sometimes, the publisher will let us break it up into two files. But we have to get permission first.
