newbie question from an oldie

[Craig Ede]

Excuse the newbie-ness of this question:

I'm involved in producing books that are very much smaller than I'm used to working with. The toc, lof and lof generated files are very small and can fit on a single page together. Is there any downside to generating standard toc, lot, and lof files and then referencing them into an empty document that sits in the place in the book where these three files would usually sit? I've moved the actual generated files outside the printed area of the book into a separate Group that contains other files that track things but never get printed.

This seems to produce a Word-like combination file that contains all the data from the three generated files. I've chosen the option to retain the source formatting for the text insets from the generated files.

Q: Is there a downside to this approach that will rear its head later? I understand that I will have to do multiple generates of the book to ensure the correct page numbering if the toc-lof-lof file expands.

Thank you.
