Problem converting book to HTML

[Karen Robbins]

Art, Richard:

I have read a good portion of the user guide and am fascinated by 
Mif2Go, but it seems to require so much set-up for my project that it 
would have blown the production schedule. Two weeks of trials last 
year did not produce the results I needed.

I will check that reference pages are applied across all, could have 
missed one.

Why do I have one giant file in this project? Because I can. In the 
past I've done it both ways, and both have converted just fine. 
Broken up, it's harder to manage last page/first page copy breaks 
(there are no ends of chapters, it all flows together). Combined, you 
do have to wait for the app to chug thru it. (When Frame was a Mac 
app, that was never an issue.)

Much thanks,
Karen
