Ken,<br><br>2 questions...<br><br>1) Why does your email client (which appears to be gmail) change the subject on threads?&nbsp; Not a big deal, but it tends to branch the discussion when viewed by thread...<br><br><a href="http://lists.drupal.org/pipermail/development/2007-May/">

Dan-<br><br>Funny enough, I&#39;m writing a &quot;skeleton outline&quot; module for D5 right now to address a similar problem.<br><br>The skeleton module (when finished) will let you define an outline for new books, including default node content and settings for each book page.&nbsp; Then you will be able to create new &quot;instances&quot; of each skeleton as a new book.&nbsp; The result is cloned nodes across several books, which sounds like your goal.
<br><br>Send me a note offlist and I can send you some code.<br><br>- Ken Rickard<br>agentrickard<br><br><br>------------------------------<br><div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

</a>&gt;<br>Content-Type: text/plain; charset=&quot;iso-8859-1&quot;<br><br>Here&#39;s my situation:<br><br>I&#39;m in the process of importing dozens of paper (Word document) manuals into<br>my Drupal intranet site as books.
<br><br>One of the main goals of this project is to reduce redundancy... in the<br>word-document / file share set up, each manual is duplicated five times,<br>once for each region in which my company operates.<br>Some of the documents are identical across all regions, yet we still
<br>maintain 5 copies of the document.&nbsp;&nbsp;(Yikes!)&nbsp;&nbsp;Others are unique to a region<br>(thus the separate copies of the manuals).<br><br>This brings us to my dilema:&nbsp;&nbsp;It seems that the book module won&#39;t allow the<br>same node to be placed in multiple books, meaning my goal of redundancy
<br>reduction is out the window!<br><br>Does anyone have any suggestions about how to accomplish the functionality<br>I&#39;m looking for (adding a single node to multiple books)?<br><br>I&#39;m sure I could hack the book module to make it work, but I&#39;ve really been
<br>trying not to tamper with core modules.<br><br>Has there been any discussion on this topic before?&nbsp;&nbsp;Does anyone wish to<br>discuss the possibility of adding this to the book module officially?<br><br>Thanks for any input.
