Thanks for the quick reply, Mayrie!

If the tool cannot handle unique pagination, would you then make a note on the 
TOC that the tools changed page numbers and bracket the new ones?

I suspected what you are saying was true, just want to ensure peopel learning 
to navigate with book tools can do it more easily.

Thanks!
Valerie
