Thanks for your quick reply. I may be missing something: a) I create a document called Front. b) I start a new document and 'include' it in 'Front'. c) I then create another document called C1. This document is set as the child of Front. d) Clicking on 'view' brings up a warning: Included file ...C1 has textclass article while parent file has textclass 'scrbook'. e) The resulting .pdf displays 'Front' and includes 'C1' but, without the formatting of scrbook. Am I missing something? Ben
