    I have searched the site and the forums quite a bit and can't find the answer to my question.So I am starting a new topic.

    My questions are about putting it all back together again. My sections or chapters that make up the book are all different lengths. What happens when they are all recombined at the printer? I don't want a lot of blank pages stuck in there so each can start on an odd page. I want every page utilized.

    Or should I recomine them myself if I want to be absolutely sure of the results.

    And will the printer have any problem with there being 11 files to set instead of just one.

    And if I recombine them, won't there be a horrific mess with regard to Styles and maybe some other things.

    This topic is related in a way to the question of whether to use the book feature.

    Any instructions or references that bear on these topics would be gratefully received.

    Use the book feature. You don't need to combine the files into one at all. It would be a problem concerning styles, unless you are 100% sure you are totally consistant.

    If you are unsure whether the pagination is correct, turn off auto page numbering before you add the documents to Book.

    Book will let you know if the pagination is right. (It displays the page numbering)

    Also, and this is a golden rule when it comes to print, talk to your printer. Let them know you are unsure about the pagination and perhaps send them the pdf files to check over. They can then tell you if you need to do any further work.

    Another easy way to combine all sections if you have Acrobat is to do it in that, but your printer will most likely be fine with separate files.
