Re: Inserting pages (with master page assignments)?

[Bart Windrum <bart.windrum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm putting my response to Martha's suggestion back on the lists so it's
available for the archives...

This is an interesting suggestion. At the current 3 dozen pages I'm not
inclined to make 5 files out of one, but if/as the thing grows it'd
certainly solve the problem.
