Hi

I prepare minutes of meetings and they are circulated with header / footer
showing dates of meeting etc. I am now preparing these minutes for three
seperate organisations so I would like to improve my efficiency. Each of the
three organisations is completely independant of the others.

I need to sequentially increase the item numbers over the year. Each set of
minutes is only about 5 pages with maybe 25 items. I did think of
incorporating all minutes into a single document, but that would cause
distribution problems as the file would just keep increasing in size. I know
in the past there was the ability to have a master document which had
several documents within it but I have heard bad reports of this system.

Has anyone any advice please.

Regards

Ernie

You could use a modification of the method in the article "Creating
sequentially numbered documents (such as invoices)" at:
