Hi Simon,

Sorry its a bit late, (swampy digest).

A very simple version?
If it is a stream of text, and all pages are based on Master Page, then
create 10 linked text boxes on the Master Page, in the order of text flow.

Imported text could be squirted into the first text box, each "Shift-Enter"
character, moving on to next box.
Can be a bit alarming with reflowing text while editing though!
Then all text will be one story, for exporting back, (without XPress Tags).
Looks like you may have to devise an AS character swap to suit your DB
needs, (Shift-Enter) in QXP, swap for tab delimiter in DB? Would need a bit
of error trapping to catch tabs in QXP.
Hope that helps.

Regards, Ian
