Re: Manuscript files



Dear Carl

Thanks. I realised after I had sent my query that the solution was 01, 02 etc for my chapters. An option to add a PG would certainly be helpful.

Best wishes

Paul

Paul,

Any way of forcing them into simple Arabic numerical order.

Yes: one. CHAIN sorts the component files in alphabetical order (this
is documented, I'm relieved to say). So, to chain numbered filenames in
numerical order, you will need to pad the numerical parts of the
filenames with leading zeros. In your example: Chapter.01, Chapter.02,
... Chapter.09, ... Chapter.99.

As for the need to add a  at the end of each chapter before
chaining, CHAIN was not designed with MSS in mind but I can easily add
this CHAIN as an option.
