     I'm with Roger. In my previous contract, I had a 200-page manual
     loaded with graphics, irregular invisible tables for layout, a
     generated TOC/index, numbered lists all over the place... and the only
     time I ran into serious trouble was when I tried to incorporate a
     section with different margins. (I never did get that working right.)
     I did run into the numbered list bug a couple of times early on, but
     for some reason it settled down eventually.
