I inherited a job that is now includes about 200 separate documents. I've had
to create a table of contents for the job manually. (I don't know how to do
this automatically.)

What are the advantages/disadvantages to keeping this job as multiple files
rather than turn it into one big file? Is this something I really should
consider?

See "Creating a Table of Contents Spanning Multiple Documents" at
http://pubs.logicalexpressions.com/P...cle.asp?ID=148. One big
file is a lot easier from the standpoint of creating a TOC, but if the
documents are widely diverse in formatting, it may be easier to keep them
separate than to combine them and attempt to retain the formatting.

Thank you, Suzanne. It looks like I will let my manual table of contents
stand as it is but I will take the time to work with the instructions in that
article.
