Two docs in one?

[geoff-h -at- MTL -dot- FERIC -dot- CA]

 Carolyn Klinger wondered if anyone has heard of <<a
 software package that allows you to pull two different
 documents (an instructor guide and a student guide) into
 one document, so that they can be "assembled" side by side
 electronically? We would like the instructors who teach
 from our course materials to be able to see their guide on
 the left and the corresponding page from the student guide
 on the right.>>

 You mentioned that you're already using Pagemaker, so
 that's your answer right there. PageMaker lets you place
 new documents as independent stories, so all you need to do
 is drop one document (the guide) into the left column as
 Story #1, then drop the other (the student guide) into the
 right column as Story #2. You can then flow the pages
 manually, and independently of each other; "autoflow" won't
 work because it will use both columns. Newer versions of
 PageMaker (6.5.X), which support frames, should let you use
 autoflow if you configure the frames properly, but I
 haven't tried this trick yet.
