Id CS3 Combining Id Documents into one?

[404notfound]

I have build a book in indesign and have created a separate document for each chapter. My plan to combine them into one document is to open each chapter, select all the pages and drag-n-drop them into the first chapter.

I was just wondering if anyone knows of a better way to do this?

Thanks.

Why do you want to do that? There's certainly no advantage, you're just going to make a massive file. And any styles that you augmented in the other documents will change to the ones in your first document. It will just be trouble all the way.

A better way to do this is to File>New>Book

Place all your documents in here. You will need to change the section numbering (as the page numbers will be affected, but you can see them all there). If you can't figure it out then let me know and I'll try to guide you on the problems you have.

But please, seek the help files first before posting.

Thanks, thats awesome. Exactly what I was wanting to do. Yeah I hadn't paginated it yet so that wasn't a problem it did it all automatically.

Indexing seems a little weird, you have to have all the documents open to generate a index of all the chapters apparently?

Thanks.
