FM10 crashes saving book as HTML, inserts rogue word

[Art Campbell]

Rick Quatro has a Framescript or two that will convert a book (and/or, I
believe, a directory of .fm files) into a single monolithic .fm file while
updating cross-refs, etc.
I've used them a couple times a couple years ago for a similar job.
In any case, ping Rick, get the scripts and run them, and then export the
file through MIF2Go, and you should be done.
