Of course, would still like to have numbered chapters ...

Many thanks -

Re: Include pdf and reference pages

Thank you Colleagues,

This looks as though it's heading in the right direction. I need to clarify and then ask a further question though. Your patience is appreciated.

First, I am proposing to replace the Word docs with LaTex docs. There's not much I can do about the scanned pdf docs -- they are a ...

Include pdf and reference pages

Dear Colleagues,

I regularly need to compile a complex document (meeting papers) which includes editable text from a certain well-known word processing package and multiple scanned pdf files of physical letters (they are pdf images).

Re: Linebreaks in verse environment

Thanks — this looks good.

Hyphenation

I am looking for a way to close the gap between LaTex docs I make and professional-quality docs. Hyphenation behaviour looks quite different. I have a list of preferred hyphenations, but professionally-typset docs do it better, with fewer hyphenations. Any advice?

Re: Un-numbered sections in Frontmatter

Thanks Stefan,

Will investigate that --- not thinking too clearly after a long day's TeX-ing.

Strange thing I'm struggling with at the moment.
