Thanks, everyone for the suggestions! I will look into using the script, and if that doesn't work, try the save as option.

@Ann_Camilla – I don't think I'll have a problem with deleting pages, as none of my text flows from one page to another. (The document contains a separate text box listing the item #, price, etc. for each set of items.)

One more question – is it necessary for me to create a template document before I can combine all of these new files into a book? Since I will have (hopefully) preserved the layout/design of each section/chapter, I'm not sure how helpful a template would be…

Thanks! And happy Friday!
