Paul,

Yes, the doc class changed back to Book a couple of times, but that's the
only time I've seen this happen. I can't explain it either.

Okay. I didn't look in templates, but there the textclass is set to
scrreport so I cannot explain why a new doc comes up as scrbook.

Oh, well. I'll cope with it. :-)

Many thanks,
