You have my sympathy all the way around.
The way we do our manuals is to break out each subject within a section and
then within a chapter. If something is added, we generally don't need to
reprint more than 2-3 pages--not the whole chapter. For instance:
We duplex our pages also, and identify the changed pages by a new "revision"
date.
It's a very simple way to handle a very nasty problem.
Good luck.

Since I will be departing sometime within the next month or so, I'd like to
leave them with a way to cleanly insert new or change existing pages without
having to reprint the entire section. Does anyone have any suggestions on
the best way to do that? This manual was created using Word.
