Updating Hard Copies of Existing Manuals

["Kelly E. Halbritter [C]" <halbrttr -at- CIG -dot- MOT -dot- COM>]

I would appreciate any advice as to how to attack the following problem:

My company is implementing a new program in which we send our customers
pages of information for each software release. The customer can then
insert these pages into their existing documentation set (three-ring
binder format). These pages will either replace existing pages, or will
take the form of additional pages to be inserted into the middle of
documents.

How do you handle page numbering with this a plan like this? Replacing
old pages and inserting new ones in the middle of chapters is going to
wreak havoc on the continuity of the page numbering, which leads to my
next concern...

How do you handle the inevitiable obsolescence of the manual TOCS
everytime additional pages are sent to the customer?

This documentation is done on Interleaf 5.4 and 6.11 running on a UNIX
platform.

Thanks for any rays of illumination you can send my way!
