Running into a problem with forms/pages shared by three (at the moment)
manuals. All manuals are on Word 2002/XP.

Is there a way to have a database of the one page or form and use almost a
merge to combine the final manual when republished? Trying to not have to
change the page/form in all three places - and run the risk of either not
change that manual's page at all or accidently making the page/form
different from the others.

Would Access be the right way to go?

Hi Pat,

You could use and { INCLUDETEXT } field that refers to a common document in
each of the manuals.

Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the
benefit of others who may be interested. Unsolicited questions forwarded
directly to me will only be answered on a paid consulting basis.

Hope this helps
