      OK I’m trying a different approach to the whole Book idea.

      My Question can page numbering extend across all the files that comprise a book.

      Example: I have a book of recipes made up of individual .indd files. i.e. “Eggs Benedict” is a 3 page .indd file. “Grilled Salmon” is yet another .indd file 4 pages long. “Texas Chili” again another 3 page .indd file can I treat all three files as a book with the pages numbered 1 -7 ?

      Yes you can indeed.

      I really suggest you do an online training course or a training course in your area.

      Lynda.com is highly recommended and you can get a free 1 months trial.

      Yup, I was going to suggest the same thing as Eugene. Page numbering and sections are quite do-able and shouldn’t be giving you the headaches you’ve got. Sounds like you have a Bunche of discrete files and you want to put them in one file? There’d be a couple of ways to do that. How are you placing the files? Perhaps the folks here can help. How about listing out the job specs and what you’ve done so far. That way, they could guide you and, along the way, isolate where the glitch/es are happening.

      Just a thought. You’ve got me curious about what you’re doing and how folks could best help. They are super knowledgeable
