This is a good way to go if you keep your documents in separate folders. I tend to keep them all together, until the complexity of a given document (# of files making up the doc, ...) gets beyond where I can keep track of it all. For this case, your way doesn't work. It would be be better to avoid changes that affect compatibility, but that's not always possible. Is it? Hmmm... Justin -- Justin C.
