OMG that sounds like bliss! It sounds perfect, does it work? So the way I read this, we make changes in Word, and it flows through to the InDesign, and the graphics artist can focus on making sure the layout works and not making edits? Any idea how this works with indexing software (we use IndexMatic 2) and Table of Contents? Do those have to be manually regenerated or do they auto-generate?

THANKS SO MUCH for responding. This is the best lead we’ve had, and it is such a HUGE problem. Our GA is freaking out (rightfully, because she’s getting married on Saturday) and we’re trying to find the right way to do this.
