Donna,

Looks like you've hit upon a subject that I'd like to discuss and pragmatic 
in nature.

Page numbering I started off using the 0.0 - 1.1 - 1.1.1  etc   but these 
days tend to use more letters so I don't have to renumber each time a 
change is made. Also I use   1.1.a  meaning that there may be multiple 
versions of that page.

So what about processes?  Are they 1.1.1 ,   1.1.1.1     or    do people 
use  1.1a   1.1b   etc.

Cross linking - well I use a dotted box with a line across the end (the 
dotted line is for clarity the line is something I took from SSADM).

Has anyone worked up a convention for this or is there a gap for someone to 
do this?
