Template organization

[Matt Sullivan]

I like to have separate templates for:
-Chapter
-Front Matter
-TOC
-Index

I generally keep these in their own Book file, to keep the management easier

I have found that the UberTemplate results in too many definitions,
especially for the Master Pages and the Para Catalog.

Hey, folks. What is your standard for organizing your template?

Do you have all ref pages, master pages, para tags, character tags, 
variable definitions, etc., etc., represented identically in every file 
of your template?

It easiest  to update every file in a book with every formatting 
element, rather than try to remember that the Index file has unique 
elements, so does the TOC, the appendixes have different variable 
definitions from the chapters, etc., etc.

The only gotcha I can think of is that sometimes I manually fiddle with 
header and footer settings for the oddball chapters (Index, TOC, List of 
Figures, etc., etc.) If I copied "Page Layouts" from my Index to all 
other files, would they all end up with "Index" manually typed into the 
footer, for example?

What do you do?
