It depends on whether it is more convenient to keep a list near the
computer that says that Suchandsuch Vast Glossary section J-K is at PDF
pp. 456 or you actually have a file labeled section J-K. My own
experience is that keeping little lists near the computer is
difficult--too many little yellow stickies that lose their stickiness
and get taken by the cat--so a onetime splitting of Suchandsuch into
separate files could be easier for me to deal with when I want something
qwk.
Next google task: looking for a utility to put together hundreds of
JPGs or TIFs into browsable docs. Anyone with experience at this?
