What you are describing, Jeannie, is how InDesign works when it comes to copying to another location. I have a lot of trouble with this as well, since I reuse the same document/book files for subsequent issues of our documentation. I’d love to copy/rename/re-purpose, but I’m scared of destroying what InDesign treats as the “master”. Can someone give us a good explanation of what is going on? I take it that “linking” is the feature we don’t understand. Thanks!
