OK, again. :-)

I was sleeping, as I said :-))

Splitting documents should be, sometimes, useful. Other times, the
information would be so spread out that it will be hard to find it. 

I hope we can have a nice recommendation on what to do with our
documents.

No problems. :-)

We'll talk soon, then. :-)) (I know mine needs lots of information and
a more basic approach, but I'm so busy this year... :-((( )
