   Rick already called me! But it appears Groups or Folders are my best
   bet.

   Yes, it's possible, but I'm not a coder either...

         Hi, all.
        I've just imported a ~150 topic help file into FrameMaker. Each
     topic
        is a separate .fm file (usually short) that starts with a Heading
     1.
        I'd like to divide those .fm files into chapter segments, insert
     a
        chapter-title .fm at appropriate points, and print the resulting
     book
        file like a regular book. The TOC organization and file lengths
     look
        like this:
        Ch_01_Overview of the Thing.fm
           imported .fm file 1, (1.2 pages long)
           imported .fm file 2, (1.5 pages long)
           imported .fm file 3, (3.1 pages long)
         Ch_02_Installation.fm
           imported .fm file 4, (1.2 pages long)
           imported .fm file 5, (3.1 pages long)
           imported .fm file 6, (0.7 pages long)
           imported .fm file 7, (1 pages long)
         Ch_03_Configuration.fm
           imported .fm file 8, (0.2 pages long)
           imported .fm file 9, (4.2 pages long)
           imported .fm file 10, (0.9 pages long)
        I want each chapter to start on a new page, but I want all the
     .fm
        files within the chapter to print after each other continuously
     with no
        page breaks between them.
        Is that possible? Or do I need to move the content of the
     imported .fm
        file into the Chapter .fm file and just have one large .fm file
     per
        chapter?
        Thanks.
